Web Technologies
Electron embeds Chromium and Node.js to enable web developers to create desktop applications.
Cross Platform
Compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux, Electron apps run on three platforms across all supported architectures.
Open Source
Electron is an open source project maintained by the OpenJS Foundation and an active community of contributors.
Trusted by best-in-class apps
Popular consumer and rock-solid enterprise apps use Electron to power their desktop experiences.
Desktop development made easy
Electron takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application.
Native graphical user interfaces
Interact with your operating system's interfaces with Electron's main process APIs. Customize your application window appearance, control application menus, or alert users through dialogs or notifications.
Automatic software updates
Send out software updates to your macOS and Windows users whenever you release a new version with Electron's autoUpdater module, powered by Snap Store (Linux).
Crash reporting
Automatically collect JavaScript and native crash data from your users with the crashReporter module. Use a third-party service to collect this data or set up your own on-premise Crashpad server.
Use the tools you love
With the power of modern Chromium, Electron gives you an unopinionated blank slate to build your app. Choose to integrate your favourite libraries and frameworks from the front-end ecosystem, or carve your own path with bespoke HTML code.
