Native APIs
“What sets ToDesktop apart is its seamless integration with native APIs using our existing web
codebase. By tapping into APIs like Tray
and
Notifications, we've crafted an exceptionally polished desktop user experience. ”
Rick Pastoor
Cleaner, less cluttered UI
“Having a desktop app gives us the freedom to design the experience we want, including better keyboard shortcuts and a cleaner UI. It was a no-brainer for us to use ToDesktop. ”
Max Musing
Code optional
“It was unbelievably simple for us to get a desktop app up and running, and we didn’t have to
write a single line of code. Once we had this MVP, we were able to extend the app’s
functionality with custom behavior using ToDesktop’s libraries. ”
