Claude Board uses Tauri v2 to produce native desktop applications. The frontend is built with React + Vite, and the backend is written in Rust.

Prerequisites

Build Commands

npx tauri build
Produces .exe and .msi installers in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/ and src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/.

Icons

Application icons are configured in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json and located in src-tauri/icons/:
PlatformFileFormat
Windowsicon.icoICO (256x256)
macOSicon.icnsICNS
Linuxicon.pngPNG (512x512)
To update icons, replace these files and rebuild, or use the npx tauri icon command to generate all formats from a single source image.

CI/CD Workflow

Claude Board includes a GitHub Actions workflow for automated builds:
# .github/workflows/build.yml
# Triggers on version tags (v*)
# Builds for all three platforms
# Uploads artifacts to GitHub Releases
The workflow:
  1. Checks out the repository
  2. Installs Rust toolchain and Node.js dependencies
  3. Builds the React frontend with Vite
  4. Compiles the Rust backend and bundles with Tauri
  5. Uploads installers as release assets
Tag a commit with v* (e.g., v5.0.0) to trigger an automatic release build.

Development Mode

For local development without building an installer:
npx tauri dev
This compiles the Rust backend, starts the Vite dev server for the React frontend, and opens the app window with hot-reload enabled for frontend changes.
Cross-compilation is not natively supported by Tauri. Use the CI/CD workflow or a matching build machine for each target platform.
