Desktop App Development
Powerful desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux — fast, secure, and offline-ready.
From point-of-sale systems and creative tools to enterprise software and internal dashboards — we build modern desktop apps with native performance, offline capability, and seamless updates. Cross-platform from a single codebase, or true native when you need it.
Why teams choose Awan Digitals
Sound familiar?
Common challenges we solve every day
- ✕Web apps don't cut itSome workflows need offline access, file system, or hardware integration.
- ✕Native dev costs 3x moreSeparate Windows, Mac, and Linux teams blow up the budget.
- ✕Updates are messyManual installers, version drift, and stale clients in the wild.
- ✕Performance & security worriesHeavy apps drain RAM; insecure apps leak company data.
How we solve it
Our approach turns those problems into business advantages
- Cross-platform from one codebaseTauri or Electron — Windows, Mac, Linux from one build pipeline.
- Native performanceTauri builds are 90% smaller and 2x faster than typical Electron apps.
- Auto-updates built inSilent background updates with rollback support — never have stale clients.
- Secure by defaultCode signing, sandboxing, and encrypted local storage.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
Tauri or Electron — which is better?
Tauri (Rust-based) gives 90% smaller installers, 2x faster startup, and lower RAM. Electron has a wider ecosystem. We recommend based on your performance and feature needs.
Do you handle code signing?
Yes — we set up Apple Developer ID signing, Windows Authenticode, and Linux package signing. We also help acquire certificates if you don't have them.
Can it work fully offline?
Absolutely. We architect offline-first with SQLite, file system access, and background sync. Your users can work for days without internet.
How are updates delivered?
We set up an auto-update server (or use Squirrel/Sparkle/Tauri Updater). Updates download silently, install on next launch, and support rollback.
Can you publish to Microsoft Store / Mac App Store?
Yes — we handle store packaging (MSIX, MAS), entitlement configuration, and review process. Direct distribution outside stores is also supported.
