Instead of Tauri Bundler
Tauri Bundler alternatives
Tauri Bundler takes a Tauri application from CLI build to platform-specific distribution. Its default build command bundles configured formats, with Linux options including Debian, Snap, AppImage, Flatpak, RPM, and AUR; macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS distribution are covered too. It is free, works with most frontend frameworks, and documents CI build and release workflows. Its capabilities can also limit frontend permissions by window or webview.

Dear PyGui

That breadth has requirements and boundaries: code signing is needed on most platforms, macOS distribution outside the App Store also requires notarization, and Tauri’s static web host does not natively support SSR. The bundler’s public API is not strictly SemVer-stable because it is intended primarily for Tauri CLI use. The alternatives here vary from Electron-specific build pipelines to package generators and self-extracting archives. Compare whether you need app bundling plus publishing, a particular package format, or a simpler installer or archive; then weigh target platforms, update options, and the setup steps each tool supports.
