Tauri UI Template

Tauri UI Template is a starting point for building modern desktop applications with web technologies. Customizable UI components with shadcn/ui, a lightweight and secure desktop app framework Tauri 2, the React-based framework Next.js 13, the utility-first CSS framework Tailwind.

You can download pre-built final bundles from the Releases section.

Getting Started

Use create-tauri-ui to quickly scaffold a Tauri UI project.

bun create tauri-ui

Or clone the repository

gh repo clone agmmnn/tauri-ui
cd tauri-ui

bun i
bun tauri dev
bun tauri build

Features

• Support for dark and light modes
• Components-based UI design
• A draggable titlebar with minimize, maximize, and close buttons
• Radix UI for UI primitives
• Lucide Icons
• Bundle size optimized Cargo.toml (.msi 2.2mb, .dmg 1.9mb, .deb 2mb)
• Tauri GitHub Action

Next.js is used in this template to facilitate quick integration of the /examples directory of shadcn/ui. You can also easily use shadcn/ui with the React + Vite stack and any React router library (optionally) in Tauri.

Customization

The template can be customized by editing the following files:

• src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
• package.json
• src-tauri/cargo.toml
• To change the app icon, update app-icon.png, and then run bun tauri icon. This will automatically generate icon files into src-tauri/icons.

Update Components

Note that shadcn/ui is not a library, therefore you will need to update the components manually. To do so, you can download the shadcn/ui/apps/www/components/ui directory and paste it into src/components/ui.
