What problem does it solve?

Tauri provides a secure, lightweight framework for building cross-platform desktop and mobile apps by combining a Rust backend with a WebView-based frontend, reducing binary size and attack surface compared to bundling a full browser runtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-platform support across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS with a small, OS webview-based binary.
  • Inter-process communication (IPC) between frontend and Rust backend, enabling secure, structured commands and events.
  • Native integrations and plugin support for filesystem access, notifications, system tray, code signing, and more.
  • Use cases include building desktop apps with native capabilities, mobile-ready frontends, plugin ecosystems, and secure distribution pipelines.

Quick Start

Install Rust and a frontend toolchain, scaffold a new Tauri project with tauri init, then start the development server with tauri dev.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build secure cross-platform desktop apps with a Rust backend and web UI?▼

To build secure cross-platform desktop apps with a Rust backend and web UI, use Tauri to combine a Rust backend with a WebView-based frontend. This approach reduces binary size and attack surface compared to bundling a full browser runtime. It provides structured IPC commands and events for secure communication between the frontend and backend.

Does Tauri support mobile app development across Android and iOS?▼

Tauri supports cross-platform mobile app development across Android and iOS. The framework allows you to use a WebView-based frontend with a Rust backend to build mobile-ready applications, extending its desktop capabilities to mobile platforms while maintaining a small binary size.

How do I set up inter-process communication between a web frontend and a Rust backend?▼

To set up inter-process communication between a web frontend and a Rust backend, Tauri enables secure, structured IPC commands and events. This IPC mechanism allows the WebView-based frontend to communicate directly with the Rust backend, facilitating native integrations and data exchange.

What native integrations and plugins are available for cross-platform Rust apps?▼

Available native integrations and plugins for cross-platform Rust apps include filesystem access, notifications, system tray functionality, and code signing. Tauri provides a plugin ecosystem that enables these native capabilities across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

How do I scaffold and start developing a Tauri project?▼

To scaffold and start developing a Tauri project, install Rust and a frontend toolchain first. Then use the tauri init command to scaffold the new project structure, followed by tauri dev to start the development server.

Why choose Tauri over other cross-platform frameworks for desktop apps?▼

Choose Tauri for desktop apps to achieve a smaller binary size and reduced attack surface. By using the operating system's native WebView instead of bundling a full browser runtime, Tauri provides a more secure, lightweight framework while still enabling native integrations and cross-platform support.
