Desktop software for Mac, Windows, and Linux, from one codebase
Some work belongs on a desktop: tools that read local files, talk to hardware, run all day in the background, or need to work with no internet at all. Rune builds those as real installed applications, with installers, auto-updates, and the OS integration a browser cannot offer.
We have shipped desktop software to thousands of designers; see Yeti Launch below.
- One codebase, every OS
- Auto-updates
- Deep OS integration
Desktop apps
Quoted fixed-price before any work starts, and yours to keep when it is done.
Mac, Windows, Linux
Electron or Tauri, chosen for the job, so one codebase produces a native-feeling app on every platform.
Auto-updates
Signed builds that update themselves quietly, so nobody is running last year's version.
Installers and signing
Notarized Mac builds, signed Windows installers, and Linux packages, so installs do not trip security warnings.
Local files and hardware
Read and write the file system, talk to USB and serial devices, print, and run background tasks.
Offline by design
Works with no connection and syncs when one is available. Data stays on the machine when it should.
Shares code with your web app
If you also have a web version, most of the interface is the same code, so features land in both.
Projects where we did this
Live builds, with the story of how each one was made.
Questions we get about this
Electron or something lighter?
Electron is the proven choice with the biggest ecosystem. Tauri produces much smaller, faster apps when the job allows. We pick based on what the app has to do, not habit.
Can it talk to our existing systems?
Yes. Desktop apps are a good fit for connecting to local databases, legacy software, and hardware that a web app cannot reach.
Other things we can take off your plate

Tell us what you are after. You will hear back from the person who does the work, with a fixed quote and an honest read on whether it is worth doing.
