MōBrowser is a framework for building cross-platform desktop apps using Node.js and the web stack you love. It provides everything you need to develop, build, package, and distribute your app.
Write your application from a single codebase using TypeScript and run it natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Your application source code and bundled resources are encrypted and protected from extraction, analysis, and tampering.
Get response within 4 business hours. Communicate directly with the engineers who build the framework through email, chat, video calls.
Your application is powered by a single modern web browser engine (Chromium), so it looks and behaves the same on all operating systems.
Use familiar Node.js APIs and leverage the full npm ecosystem to extend your desktop applications without restrictions.
Extend your app with a native C++ or Rust module to access platform APIs and maximize performance for compute-intensive tasks.

The name of your desktop application will match the given project name. Change the application name anytime later.
Use React, Vue, or plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript for your application’s UI. Alternatively, you can simply load and display a website inside your cross-platform desktop app.
Build modern, responsive, and beautiful application UI quickly with hundreds of ready-to-use components from your favorite UI component library: Shadcn, Ant Design, Material UI, Quasar.
The generated project is compatible with VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Zed, and other modern VS Code-based IDEs, so you can open it and start development right away.
Implement application business logic with TypeScript. Create and customize application windows, display native dialogs, add tray icons, show desktop notifications, customize main menu, add context menu, register global shortcuts, etc.
import { BrowserWindow } from '@mobrowser/api';
const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.browser.loadUrl('https://example.com')
win.show()
Use the built-in VS Code debugger to debug TypeScript code of your application.
Build modern, responsive, and beautiful application UI with a wide range of web developer tools, frameworks, ready-to-use UI components.
Debug JavaScript/TypeScript code and modify DOM/CSS with the built-in Chromium DevTools or directly in VS Code.
Run your application in development mode with enabled Hot Module Replacement (HMR), so you can edit the frontend and see the changes on the fly:
Make Inter-Process Communication (IPC) calls from the sandboxed frontend process to the privileged backend process using Protobuf messages and services.
Customize your application title, icon, description, copyright, version, etc. in the mobrowser.conf.json file.
{
"app": {
"name": "App",
"copyright": "Copyright © 2026 Company Name"
}
}
Make your app trustworthy for the end users by signing and notarizing it.
Provide your Apple Developer account credentials for macOS and the signtool command for Windows in the config file and your application will be automatically signed and notarized whenever you build it.
Build your application and package it into a native installer for the current platform with a single command:
Ship your app as a native executable for the best user experience on all major platforms.
Deliver new versions of your app to the end users using the built-in application auto-update mechanism with small delta updates.
Keep your application updates on your own update server or use a third-party service like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage.
An all-in-one solution for teams that want to build a desktop app using a familiar web stack and ship it to users in months, not years.

MōBrowser is designed for teams building commercial desktop applications, where reliability, security, and support matter.
With Electron or Tauri, your team is responsible for:
MōBrowser provides:
If you’re shipping a product where downtime and risk have real cost, MōBrowser offers a more controlled and reliable foundation.
MōBrowser focuses on the challenges that appear in production:
Instead of investing engineering effort into maintaining your stack, your team can focus on building product features.
Yes, in most cases. But it’s not a drop-in replacement.
For mature Electron apps, migration is a strategic decision. Teams usually consider it when they want:
MōBrowser works with any modern web frontend framework, including React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.
Since MōBrowser is based on Chromium, it supports all the features and Web APIs that Google Chrome supports.
You’re not locked into a specific stack. You can use the tools your team already knows.
Yes. MōBrowser allows integration with native C++/Rust modules when you need:
Non-commercial use applies to projects that are not used for business purposes, such as:
Commercial use applies when MōBrowser is used in any context that is part of a business activity or provides economic benefit.
This includes:
In short, if MōBrowser is used in a business context or as part of revenue-generating or operational activity, a commercial license is required.
If you’re unsure, it’s safest to assume your use is commercial or contact us for clarification.
MōBrowser is priced as a maintained platform, not just a framework.
The cost covers:
For teams shipping commercial software, avoiding just one serious delay, bug, or security issue often offsets the annual cost.
The license is issued to your organization, and the final pricing is determined by different factors such as:
This approach gives you flexibility to use MōBrowser across your team and products, while ensuring the license reflects your actual usage and support needs.
For exact terms and pricing, contact Sales. They’ll help define a model that fits your organization.
The license includes everything needed for production use:
The goal is simple: your team should never be blocked by the framework.
MōBrowser reduces the hidden costs of maintaining a desktop stack:
Instead of maintaining infrastructure, your team can focus on delivering product value.
Enterprise support means you’re covered when it matters most.
Your team isn’t left figuring out platform problems on its own.
You work directly with engineers who know MōBrowser.
When something breaks, you’re talking to people who can actually fix it.
Yes. We can help with setup and architecture, provide guidance on best practices, and support for complex use cases.
This helps your team get productive faster and avoid costly mistakes.
MōBrowser is designed to make reverse engineering significantly harder than standard packaging approaches.
This is especially important for:
While no client-side solution is fully unbreakable, MōBrowser helps reduce the risk of intellectual property leakage and protect your revenue.
MōBrowser tracks Chromium closely and delivers regular updates aligned with Chromium releases.
This ensures your application stays:
Critical vulnerabilities are prioritized and addressed as quickly as possible.
You benefit from:
This is especially important for teams operating in security-sensitive environments.
You’re not on your own.
This reduces downtime and helps your team respond to incidents with confidence.
Yes. MōBrowser supports compliance efforts by providing:
While compliance depends on your full application and processes, MōBrowser helps you meet security and reliability requirements more easily.
