Open Source Rust Build Tools

Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend. Brownfield compatibility with any front-end framework means you don't have to change your stack. Floss relicensing is possible with Tauri. Bundle size of a Tauri App can be less than 600KB. Security is the Tauri-Team's biggest priority and drives our innovation. Patterns are here to help you choose important features with simple configuration. Cross-platform compilation allows to bundle binaries for major desktop platforms. Cross-platform notifications using polyfilled WEB API. Build your Web application as a Tauri binary for MacOS, Linux and Windows. Update core dependencies automatically from the CLI. Run multiple window instances in Tauri. Setup secure context to enable access to restricted APIs. Generally stable on Desktop, API locked down. Opt-in feature enabling for iframe dialog with Tauri and the native API. Enable programmatic and keyboard access to clipboard.

The Rust Programming Language is a language that empowers you to build reliable and efficient software. It runs blazingly fast and is memory-efficient, so it can power performance-critical services and run on embedded devices. It has a rich type system and ownership model, ensuring both thread and memory safety. Consisting of a standard library, great documentation and a friendly compiler, plus a top-notch build tool, package manager, auto-formatter and many other great tools, it’s the language of choice for increased productivity. Hundreds of companies the world over are using Rust to power an amazing range of cross-platform solutions. See what a great fit Rust can be for your own projects!

Relay is data-fetching turned declarative. Components declare their data dependencies, without worrying about how to fetch them. Relay guarantees that the data each component needs is fetched and available. This keeps components decoupled and promotes reuse. With Relay, components and their data dependencies can be quickly modified without modifying other parts of the system. That means you won't accidentally break other components as you refactor or make changes to your app. Relay's compiler aggregates and optimizes the data requirements for your entire app, so that they can be efficiently fetched in a single GraphQL request. Relay handles the heavy lifting to ensure the data declared by your components is fetched in the most efficient way. For example, by deduplicating identical fields, and precomputing information used at runtime, among other optimizations. Relay also supports executing GraphQL Mutations, optionally with optimistic updates, and updates to local data.

A CSS parser, transformer, and minifier written in Rust. Parsing and minifying large files are completed in milliseconds, often with significantly smaller output than other tools. Many other CSS parsers treat property values as an untyped series of tokens. This means that each transformer that wants to do something with these values must interpret them itself, leading to duplicate work and inconsistencies. @parcel/css parses all values using the grammar from the CSS specification and exposes a specific value type for each property. Built on the cssparser and selectors crates created by Mozilla and used by Firefox and Servo. These provide a solid general-purpose CSS-parsing foundation on top of which @parcel/css implements support for all specific CSS rules and properties. One of the main purposes of @parcel/css is to minify CSS to make it smaller. This includes many optimizations.

Flox is a portable, reproducible developer-environment and package-management system that lets you compose and share per-project stacks across the full software lifecycle. Instead of snowflake machines, teams define environments that layer or replace dependencies exactly where needed, then activate the same environment locally, in CI, or on production hosts. The GitHub repo and docs present a developer-first UX, plus integrations such as a VS Code extension that makes activating and working within Flox environments seamless. The ecosystem includes CI building blocks—for example, a CircleCI Orb—to install and activate environments as part of builds and tests. Flox’s messaging focuses on faster onboarding and “time-to-activation,” reducing friction for new contributors and multi-repo organizations. In practice, it functions as both the package source and the environment switcher, keeping toolchains isolated and reproducible.

CYFS (Cyber File System) is a next-generation decentralized application protocol designed to redefine internet infrastructure by replacing traditional HTTP and DNS with a content-addressed, owner-controlled system. It allows apps to run entirely peer-to-peer, where users fully own their data and devices participate in the network without central servers. CYFS uses innovative technologies such as object-capability security and named data networking to offer performance, security, and offline operability. It is especially geared towards building Web3 applications and digital sovereignty ecosystems.

Moon is a build system and project management tool designed to handle monorepos, providing efficient workflows and task orchestration for large-scale projects.
