Cross-Platform Output

Single conversion produces apps for Windows (MSIX), macOS (DMG), and Linux (AppImage) with platform-specific packaging.

Native Desktop Features

System tray, native menus, keyboard shortcuts, file system access, multi-window support, and auto-update.

Touch to Mouse Mapping

Swipe gestures become mouse drags, long-press becomes right-click, pinch-zoom becomes Ctrl+scroll.

Offline Ready

Desktop apps are fully offline-capable with local SQLite storage and file-based data persistence.

How It Works

1

Upload your APK. Our engine processes the Android bytecode into a platform-agnostic intermediate representation.

2

The desktop generator chooses Tauri (Rust backend, smaller binary) or Electron (full browser engine, broader API access) based on your app's complexity.

3

UI layouts are translated to platform-native frames using HTML/CSS (Electron) or Webview (Tauri) with desktop-appropriate interactions.

4

Download your packaged desktop installer(s) for your target platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Tauri and Electron output?
Tauri produces smaller binaries (5-10MB vs 150MB+) with better performance but fewer native API bindings. Electron gives broader hardware access but larger file size. UniversalForge recommends the best option for your app.
Will Google Play Services APIs work on desktop?
Play Services APIs are replaced with desktop equivalents — Firebase becomes local-first, Maps becomes embedded web maps, push notifications become system notifications.
Can I distribute through Microsoft Store?
Yes, desktop output can be packaged as MSIX for Microsoft Store, DMG for Mac App Store, or AppImage for Linux package managers.
