How it works

Step 1

Bootstrap straight from your web app

Copy and paste your web app url into ToDesktop. Customise your app design, app icon and window frame UI with no code.
Step 2

Add desktop code to customise your web app

No need to create a new repository, just add code from our desktop APIs to your codebase and get access to system level functionality.
App.js
import {
   dock,
   isDesktopApp
} from '@todesktop/core'

if (isDesktopApp) {
   dock.bounce()
   dock.setBadge(3)
}

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.
