Show HN: I built an open-source CLI to turn your cloud app into a desktop app
github.comI built an open-source CLI tool to solve a pain point I kept running into as a solo founder.
Most SaaS apps stay browser-only because building a desktop client usually means dealing with native frameworks, packaging, platform quirks, signing, CI/CD, and extra infra overhead. It’s slow, expensive, and frankly not worth it for many small teams.
This CLI abstracts most of that away. It:
- Wraps any existing cloud app into a desktop app - Requires almost zero native code - Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux (Not fully tested on Linux btw) - Keeps the build pipeline simple (no Electron boilerplate hell)
The goal isn’t to replace your cloud stack, it’s to give your users a native-feeling desktop experience without burning weeks on packaging and deployment.
I initially built this for my own product but decided to open source it because I know a lot of indie devs and early-stage teams face the same friction.

Would love feedback, edge cases you’d like solved, or any integration ideas :D its 2009 again...
