Desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux
Some tools belong on the desktop: they work with local files, run in the background, stay open all day or need to work offline. We build cross-platform desktop applications from one codebase that runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
We also handle the parts that usually slow these projects down: installers, code signing, auto-updates and distribution.
How we work
- Discussion. You tell us the idea. We ask what matters and agree on the result.
- Planning. Scope, approach and timeline, agreed in writing.
- Development. We build it, with regular updates and one round of changes.
- Launch. Live on your domain, on the date we agreed.
- You talk to the developer. The person who quotes it is the person who builds it.
- You own everything. Code, domain, accounts. No hostage situations.
What you get
- Three systems, one codebase
- The same app for macOS, Windows and Linux, with native menus, shortcuts and file dialogs.
- Works offline
- Local data and files keep working without a connection, then sync when it's back.
- Installers and signing
- Signed installers, so the operating system trusts your app, ready to download or hand out to your team.
- Auto-updates
- New versions reach users automatically, without manual reinstalls.
- Connected to your systems
- APIs, databases and existing web services, so the app fits your workflow.
- Your code and keys
- Source code and signing certificates belong to you.
A good fit if
- Your team needs an internal tool that works with local files or hardware.
- You have a web app and want a desktop version that runs in the background.
- Your users need to work offline.
Desktop, web or both?
Many desktop apps share most of their code with a web version. We plan the architecture so you can offer both without building everything twice.
