Desktop software development

macOS & Windows desktop software — apps that live in the dock.

Native macOS (Swift + AppKit), native Windows (C# + WinUI 3 + .NET 8), or cross-platform (Electron + React, or Tauri). Built for creative tools, internal ops dashboards, restaurant POS, plugin hosts — anything that should stay running, work offline, and feel like part of the OS.

They live in the dock

Browser SaaS apps lose context every tab switch. Real desktop apps stay running, open with ⌘+Space, and become part of how your users think about the work — much higher engagement than any web tab.

Offline-first by default

Restaurant POS during a network blip. Field-team tablets in a basement. Creative apps that should not stop because the wifi did. We design data layers around SQLite / Core Data so the app keeps working when the internet does not.

Hardware where it matters

ESC/POS receipt printers, scanners, USB devices, bluetooth peripherals, file system access, system menus, dock badges, native notifications, code-signed binaries — all the things web apps cannot do.

In-browser demos before you commit

Both desktop demos on this page (Velocity macOS kanban, Atlas Windows POS) run live in your browser inside real device frames. Touch the product before signing anything.

Stack we use

Right OS conventions, every time.

A POS feels different from a creative tool. We pick the stack to match the use case — never one-size-fits-all.
