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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
