How it works

Generate a project

Provide the project name

The name of your desktop application will match the given project name. Change the application name anytime later.

Select a frontend framework

Use any modern frontend framework or plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for your application’s UI. Alternatively, you can simply load and display a website inside your cross-platform desktop application.

React Native
VueJS
HTML5
CSS3
TypeScript
JavaScript

Select a UI component library

Build modern, responsive, and beautiful application UI quickly with the ready-to-use components of your favorite UI library.

Shadcn
Ant Design
Material-UI
Quasar
Vanilla

Develop, debug, and preview

Open the project in VS Code

Open the project in VS Code

The generated project is compatible with VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Zed, and other modern web-stack-friendly IDEs, so you can open it and start development right away.

Visual Studio Code
Cursor
Antigravity
Zed
Build the application backend

Build the application backend

Implement application business logic with TypeScript. Create and customize application windows, display native dialogs, add tray icons, set main menu and context menu, register global shortcuts, etc.

import { app } from '@mobrowser/api';

const win = app.createWindow()
win.browser.loadUrl('https://example.com')
win.show()

Use the built-in VS Code debugger to debug TypeScript code of your application.

JavaScript code
C++ code

Build the application frontend

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:

$ npm run mobrowser dev
JavaScript code
C++ code

Connect frontend and backend

Make Inter-Process Communication (IPC) calls from the sandboxed frontend process to the privileged backend process using Protobuf messages and services.

  • Clear service contract
  • Automatic code generation
  • High-performance serialization and deserialization
  • Compile-time detection of API changes
  • Optimal memory usage

Package and distribute

Add branding to your app

Add branding to your app

Customize your application title, icon, description, copyright, version, etc. in the mobrowser.conf.json file.

{
  "app": {
    "name": "App",
    "copyright": "Copyright © 2026 Company Name"
  }
}
Sign & notarize your app

Sign & notarize your app

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.
