Taurify
Package HTML-based applications using Tauri v2, with support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Introduction
Taurify
is a cross-platform tool designed to help developers package HTML-based applications into native executables using the Tauri framework. With Taurify
, your web application can run on multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, while maintaining a lightweight footprint and ensuring performance.
The tool offers flexibility and customization by allowing developers to modify Tauri project files located in the application directory. On Windows, this can be found at %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\@liudonghua123\taurify\tauri-app
. Similar methods are available for macOS and Linux users.
Key Benefits
- Lightweight and Secure: Unlike traditional Electron apps,
Taurify
uses system-native webviews, resulting in smaller binary sizes and reduced memory consumption. - Customizable: Developers have complete control over the Tauri project files, allowing for deep customization.
- Cross-Platform Support: Package apps for desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) as well as mobile platforms (Android, iOS).
Note: This project is under active development, with ongoing bug fixes and new features arriving soon. Contributions are welcome!
Prerequisites
Before using Taurify
, ensure the following dependencies are installed on your system:
- Node.js (version 22 or higher)
- Rust (to compile the Tauri app)
- Any additional dependencies listed in the Tauri Prerequisites (e.g., system packages required for your platform)
Ensure that your system meets the Tauri prerequisites for building applications. These may include specific tools or libraries required for different platforms like Xcode for macOS or Webview2 for Windows.
Installation
You can install Taurify
globally using npm
:
npm install -g @liudonghua123/taurify
After installation, you will have access to the taurify
command, which you can use to package your HTML-based applications.

Once installed, Taurify
allows you to package your HTML app using a simple command-line interface.
Basic Command
To package your HTML-based app, run the following command:
taurify <path-to-html-app> [options]
<path-to-html-app>
: Path to the root directory of your HTML project which containsindex.html
or the url you to package (e.g.,./my-app
orhttps://github.com
).

).-o, --output-dir <path>
: Directory to place the generated files (default:.
).-c, --config <config>
: A JSON string or path to a JSON file to merge with the defaulttauri.conf.json
.-b, --bundles <bundles>
: Space- or comma-separated list of bundles to package (e.g.,deb
,appimage
,msi
,dmg
).--identifier <identifier>
: The unique identifier for your application (e.g.,com.tauri-app.app
).-v, --version <version>
: The version number of the app (default:1.0.0

Example
Here is an example of how to package an HTML app with a custom icon and app name:
taurify ./my-html-app -i ./icon.png -p my-html-app --identifier com.my-html-app.app -o .
This command will package the app located in ./my-html-app
, using the specified icon and product name, and output the result to the .
directory.
