Create Tauri App

Interactive generator for Tauri applications with a Rust backend and a choice of frontend stacks.

Why we recommend it

Create Tauri App is useful when you want a desktop application using a system WebView and narrowly scoped native capabilities. Choose the frontend your team already knows, then design the Rust commands and application permissions around the required business functions.

When to choose it

  • Desktop utilities and business clients with a web interface and native integrations.
  • Products whose team is comfortable with Rust and platform-specific WebView behavior.

What to consider

  • The clone contains the generator source. Generate your app separately with a published version; the repository's default branch is dev.
  • Rust, operating-system build prerequisites, permissions and signing remain necessary. The source license does not grant unrestricted rights to the Tauri logo, and plugins have their own licenses.

Start with this project

Install Rust and the target platform's Tauri prerequisites, plus the tooling for your selected frontend. Use the documented create-tauri-app command in a separate directory, review the generated permissions and dependencies, and test builds against each platform's WebView.
