Review Tauri?

Reviewers are overwhelmingly positive, though the feedback is narrow and comes almost entirely from founders rather than end users. Makers of

kuku

Mockphine

, and

ArtCraft

say Tauri helps them ship lightweight desktop apps that feel native, stay fast and memory-efficient, and pair a Rust backend with web UI stacks like React or TypeScript. Across the reviews, the repeated appeal is smaller binaries, better performance, and easier cross-platform desktop development without bundling Chromium.

Tauri

to build CopyCat

•1 review

Made it easy to build a tiny, fast desktop app that works beautifully on Mac and Windows. Considered Electron and Flutter, but Tauri’s lightweight footprint and native speed made it perfect for a small utility app. Tip: keep frontend minimal to leverage Tauri’s performance advantage.

I chose Tauri for ClipboardAI because I needed a lightweight solution. I didn’t want to ship a full-blown Electron app just for a simple tray application. The bundle size needed to stay minimal. Working with Tauri has been great so far.

Native performance without Electron bloat. yolog.dev Desktop is ~10MB thanks to Tauri.

The alternative was Electron, which is notoriously heavy and bloated. For a "Digital Janitor" that runs in the background 24/7, we needed something tiny and secure. Tauri allows Claw to be blazing fast, memory-efficient, and truly local-first.

Kuku is built on Tauri, which makes it possible to ship a truly native macOS app without bundling Chromium. Thanks to Tauri, Kuku stays small (~15MB), fast, and memory-efficient, while still using modern web tooling.

Mockphine is built on Tauri. It let us ship a lightweight desktop app with a Rust backend and React UI across macOS and Windows. Great fit for fast local tooling with native performance.
