Desktop applications

Desktop application development for Windows, macOS and Linux

We build business desktop applications for Windows, macOS and Linux with Electron, Tauri, .NET or Python/Qt, including offline use.

Tell us about your project

Some work needs software installed on the machine: offline use, hardware access (printers, scanners, scales), large local data sets or a closed environment.

We pick the technology to fit: Electron or Tauri for a modern cross-platform app, .NET/C# for native Windows software, Python/Qt for technical and scientific tools. And we keep every workstation up to date.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your teams work where the connection is unreliable.
  • An old desktop program is no longer maintained and holds your business back.
  • The application must drive hardware or local files.
  • Installing and updating the software on each machine takes too long.

Outcome

Stable software, installed and updated cleanly on every workstation.

Manufacturers, retailers, laboratories and administrations that need a locally installed tool.

What we deliver

  • Electron, Tauri, .NET/C# or Python/Qt apps
  • Offline mode and synchronisation
  • Hardware and local file integration
  • Installers and automatic updates
  • Taking over or modernising existing software
  • Maintenance and support

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scoping

    A first conversation to understand your business, goals and constraints. You get a clear proposal within 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Design

    Journeys, mock-ups and architecture agreed with you before the first line of code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Regular releases you can test as we go, with a progress review at every stage.

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    Deployment and training for your team, then maintenance, hosting and improvements if you want them.

Frequently asked questions

Desktop app or web app?

A web app is enough in most cases. Desktop makes sense for offline work, hardware access or a closed environment. We advise you during scoping.

Can you modernise old software?

Yes. We analyse what exists, migrate the data and rebuild the application on maintained technology.

Does the application work without internet?

Yes when needed, with data synchronised once the connection is back.

How much does a desktop application cost?

It depends on features, target systems and hardware integration. Detailed estimate within 48 hours.

We will clarify the problem, priority, stakeholders and practical next step before proposing a solution.
