Electrobun

Tiny desktop apps without the usual drag.

Electrobun is the framework lane of the story: real today, open source, and already in the hands of developers building fast native-feeling software.

two product lanes

Build with Electrobun now. Grow into Bunny later.

Why developers care

Built for apps that should feel native, not merely packaged.

Smaller by design

The appeal is not just performance theatre. Electrobun aims for smaller bundles, lighter updates, and a tighter runtime story than the usual desktop stack.

Bun-native workflow

Use Bun as the runtime and toolchain, then stay in TypeScript while still accessing native windows, menus, paths, tray integration, and more.

Runtime path forward

Electrobun is also the foundation for the Bunny build target, so the framework lane can evolve naturally into permissioned runtime deployments later.

What it replaces

Less browser baggage. More intentional desktop software.

The framework pitch is not “Electron, but smaller” as a slogan. It is a different taste in desktop software: faster startup, smaller installs, native platform surfaces, and tighter control over what ships.

That is the present-day value. Bunny extends that foundation into a different runtime future, but Electrobun stands on its own already.

Developer path

Read the docs, ship something small, then track the runtime story.
