Does WNC build with Tauri or Electron?

Both. WNC defaults to Tauri 2 (Rust + web frontend) for smaller, faster, more secure binaries. Electron is used when the app needs Node.js APIs, deeper desktop integrations, or maximum library ecosystem.

Why choose Tauri over Electron?

Tauri apps are typically 10x smaller (5–15 MB vs 50–150 MB), use less memory, start faster, and have a smaller attack surface. WNC recommends Tauri for new projects unless Electron-specific APIs are required.

How much does a desktop app cost?

Most WNC desktop projects range from $15,000 for an internal utility to $250,000+ for a consumer-grade product with auto-update, licensing, and multi-OS distribution.

Does WNC handle auto-update, code signing, and notarization?

Yes. WNC sets up code signing for Windows and macOS, Apple notarization, and auto-update channels as part of delivery.

Desktop development

Software that runs on every machine your team already uses.

Windows, macOS and Linux — built and shipped once

Your people and customers are split across Windows, macOS and Linux, and maintaining three separate apps drains time and money. We build desktop software that runs natively on all three from one codebase — signed, notarised and installing cleanly, with auto-update and licensing built in — so everyone gets the same product and the same updates on their own machine.
