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.

macOS operating system menu for VSCode.
'Code' menu item is selected, and its submenu has items 'About Visual Studio Code',
'Check for Updates...', 'Preferences', 'Services', 'Hide Visual Studio Code',
'Hide Others', 'Show All', 'Quit Visual Studio Code'.

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.

Dialog for Electron Fiddle's auto-update. The user is prompted to update to v0.27.3.
'A new version has been downloaded. Restart the application to apply the updates.'
There are two buttons underneath: 'Later' and 'Restart'.

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 Squirrel.

Window on macOS for the WhatsApp Installer (DMG).
Two icons are present: 'WhatsApp' and 'Applications'. The user is prompted to
drag the WhatsApp app icon into the Applications folder.

Application installers

Use community-supported tooling to generate platform-specific tooling like Apple Disk Image (.dmg) on macOS, Windows Installer (.msi) on Windows, or RPM Package Manager (.rpm) on Linux.

Mac App Store window open to the Rocket.Chat download page.

App store distribution

Distribute your application to more users. Electron has first-class support for the Mac App Store (macOS), the Microsoft Store (Windows), or the 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.
