| description.long | An open-source, declarative UI framework for Kotlin that enables sharing code across multiple platforms. Built on Jetpack Compose and Kotlin Multiplatform, developed by JetBrains. | Tauri enables developers to create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android using web-based frontends paired with a Rust backend. Applications are small and fast by leveraging the operating system's native WebView rather than bundling a separate runtime. |
