Overview
create-tauri-ui runs the official shadcn/ui and create-tauri-app setups, then combines the frontend with the native shell. It applies desktop defaults such as no startup flash, external links opening in the system browser, and no overscroll. Frontend choices are Vite, Next.js, React Router, Astro, or TanStack Start. It has no AI features of its own.
Who it is for: Developers starting a Tauri desktop app with a React or Astro frontend
Strengths
- Wraps upstream shadcn and create-tauri-app CLIs instead of forking templates
- Five frontend adapters: Vite, Next.js, React Router, Astro, TanStack Start
- Add, update or remove batteries later with list/add/update/remove commands
- Dev-only debug panel (Cmd/Ctrl+D) shows routes, invokes, window state and logs
Weaknesses
- No AI features, auth, billing or database; only a desktop shell starter
- README examples assume Bun (bunx, bun run)
- Patches upstream CLI output, so it depends on upstream changes
- Showcase list names only one example app
What it needs
- TypeScript
- Needs Bun, Tauri v2
