I will build your electron desktop app for windows


About this gig
Some tools just work better as an actual app instead of a website living in a browser tab. Something that opens with an icon, runs offline if it needs to, and doesn't feel like it's borrowing space from Chrome.
I build these using Electron, JavaScript, Node.js, and HTML/CSS under the hood. I've shipped a handful of these already, mix of personal builds and client work, so this isn't a first attempt at figuring out packaging and installers, it's something I've actually done more than once.
Good fit for:
- Turning an existing web app into a proper desktop app
- Building a small internal tool for a business (dashboards, trackers, utilities)
- A desktop client for a service that currently only runs in-browser
- Something that needs local file access, system tray integration, or offline use that a website can't do
Right now I'm scoping this specifically for Windows builds. If you need Mac or Linux too, ask me before ordering and I'll let you know if that's something we can work out.
I'll walk you through what's actually possible before we start, Electron is powerful but it's not magic, and I'd rather tell you upfront what fits your idea than overpromise and scramble later.

FAQ
Do you build for Mac or Linux too?
Right now I'm focused on Windows builds. If you need another platform, message me before ordering so we can figure out if it's workable.
Can you convert my existing website into a desktop app?
Often yes, depends on how it's built. Send me the site or a description of it and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a clean conversion or needs rework.
Do I need to know how to code to use the final app?
No, you'll get a working packaged app (.exe) that runs like any other Windows program. Only if you want to edit the code yourself later would that matter.
What if I need offline functionality?
That's one of the main reasons people choose Electron over a website, local storage and offline use are very doable, just tell me what specifically needs to work without internet.
Can you add auto-updates so I don't have to manually redistribute new versions?
Yes, that's included in the Premium package, or can be added as an extra on Basic/Standard.
Do you provide the source code?
Yes, by default. If you'd rather keep it closed and just get the packaged app, let me know and I can adjust.
