Tauri is an open-source software framework designed to create cross-platform desktop and mobile applications on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS using a web frontend. The framework functions with a Rust back-end and a JavaScript front-end that runs on local WebView libraries using rendering libraries like Tao and Wry. Tauri aims to provide a more lightweight alternative to similar existing frameworks such as Electron.
Tauri is governed by the Tauri Foundation within the Dutch non-profit Commons Conservancy. As of 2024, Tauri is licensed and distributed under the MIT license, and Apache 2.0 license.
Tauri 1.0 was released in June 2022. In early 2024, Tauri v2 Beta was released, which included mobile support for iOS and Android systems. On 2 October 2024, Tauri v2 was released as a stable release.
