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[1] that runs on local WebView libraries using rendering libraries like Tao and Wry.[2][3] Tauri aims to provide a more lightweight alternative to similar existing frameworks such as Electron.[4][5]

Tauri is governed by the Tauri Foundation within the Dutch non-profit Commons Conservancy.[6] As of 2024, Tauri is licensed and distributed under the MIT license, and Apache 2.0 license.[7]

Tauri 1.0 was released in June 2020. In Early 2024, Tauri v2 Beta was released, which included mobile support for iOS and Android systems.[8] On October 2nd, 2024, Tauri v2 was released as a stable release.[9]
