Desktop Execution Lifecycle

How We Engineer Desktop Apps

A disciplined engineering lifecycle from OS specs to EV Code Signed installer packages.

01

OS Architecture & Hardware Specs

We define target operating systems (Windows/macOS/Linux), hardware requirements, and select the optimal framework (Tauri vs Electron vs Native).

02

Figma Desktop UI & Native Design Tokens

Design desktop-optimized multi-window layouts adhering to Windows Fluent Design and macOS Human Interface Guidelines.

03

Core Development & OS API Coding

Agile 2-week sprints building core desktop features, local database models, hardware peripheral drivers, and native menus.

04

Hardware Matrix QA & Memory Profiling

Rigorous testing across Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux distributions to profile CPU/RAM usage, battery life, and thread stability.

05

EV Code Signing & Installer Packaging

Sign binaries with EV Code Certificates and Apple Notarization, creating clean .msi, .dmg, and .deb installer packages.

06

Auto-Update Infrastructure & SLA Support

Configure silent auto-update channels, crash reporting via Sentry, and ongoing OS compatibility updates under agreed SLAs.

Client Advisory & FAQs

Desktop Engineering FAQ

Answers to common questions regarding Tauri vs Electron, EV Code Signing, and hardware serial integration.

Tauri is recommended when low memory usage (<15MB RAM), small installer sizes (<10MB), and high security are top priorities, using a Rust backend. Electron is ideal for complex apps that require mature Node.js npm packages, extensive multi-window management, or maximum code sharing with an existing React web codebase.
