What this service covers

Electron is a practical choice when a web technology stack should power a desktop interface across macOS and Windows. I define required screens, local files, notifications, menus, permissions, data, APIs, and supported operating system versions before development.

The application can include local storage, authentication, synchronization, tray or menu-bar behavior, notifications, deep links, auto-update infrastructure, and platform installers. File paths, permissions, signing, update behavior, and native integrations are tested separately on each supported platform.

Electron has different package-size and memory characteristics from a native application, so performance is measured against the actual workflow rather than assumed. Apple Developer membership, certificates, notarization, Windows signing, store fees, and third-party services remain client-owned.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same app run on macOS and Windows?

Yes, from a shared Electron codebase, but file systems, permissions, signing, updates, and operating-system integrations are tested separately on each supported platform.

Are Electron apps slow?

Performance depends on screens, data, background work, and dependencies. I measure startup, memory, and important workflows, but I do not promise native-app performance for every use case.

Can you create signed macOS installers?

Yes, using the client's Apple Developer account and certificates. Membership fees, notarization availability, platform policy, and review timing are controlled by Apple.
