Tauri is an open-source software framework designed to create cross-platform desktop applications on Linux, macOS and Windows using a web frontend. The framework functions with a Rust back-end and a JavaScript front-end WebView using rendering libraries like Tao and Wry.[1] Tauri was released as a less bulky alternative to similar existing frameworks such as Electron.[2]

Tauri 1.0 was released in June 2020. In 2024, Tauri v2 Beta was released, which includes mobile support for iOS and Android systems.

Architecture

Central to Tauri's architecture are core components such as the Tauri crate, which serves as a hub for managing various functionalities like runtimes, macros, utilities, and APIs. The toolkit also includes essential tooling such as bundlers, CLI interfaces, and scaffolding kits, to streamline the development and deployment processes. Tauri supports cross-platform application window creation (TAO) and WebView rendering (WRY), which allows compatibility across macOS, Linux and Windows platforms.

Tauri is built using Rust, which is known for its speed and security due to its memory safety features.[3] It also allows users the function to switch individual APIs on and off,[4] and provides an isolation pattern to prevent untrusted scripts from accessing the back-end from a WebView.
