Open Source Tauri Projects

Tauri is an open source framework for building desktop applications with a web-based interface and a native backend written in Rust. It uses the operating system’s webview to display the interface rather than bundling a full browser, and lets applications call native functionality through controlled commands. This approach can help teams reuse web development skills while creating desktop software for multiple operating systems, with attention to application size, performance, and access to local resources.

Open source tools in this area include application starters, plugins, user-facing desktop software, and utilities for packaging and integrating native features. When choosing one, check its license, maintenance activity, supported operating systems, Rust and frontend requirements, security model, and compatibility with your existing stack. Tauri can be useful for web developers and teams seeking cross-platform desktop applications, as well as contributors interested in combining web technologies with systems programming.
