About

A TypeScript-first framework for building ultra-fast, tiny (~12MB), cross-platform desktop applications. Uses Bun runtime and Zig native bindings to create apps that start in seconds with automatic updates as small as 14KB.

What it can do

  • Build cross-platform desktop applications

    TypeScript code → Desktop application executable

  • Create ultra-small application bundles

    Application source code → Compressed desktop app (~12MB)

  • Deploy automatic application updates

    Updated application code → Incremental update packages (as small as 14KB)

  • Enable fast inter-process communication

    RPC calls between application processes → Data exchange between processes

  • Compile TypeScript with Bun runtime

    TypeScript source files → Optimized JavaScript runtime code

  • Generate native bindings using Zig

    Application logic requiring native performance → High-performance native code bindings

Why it made the leaderboard

Ship cross-platform desktop apps in TypeScript at around 12MB with auto-updates as small as 14KB — built on the Bun runtime and Zig native bindings, with fast RPC between processes and integrated build-and-ship tooling.
