Desktop Application Development

Desktop software for business workflows, data management, internal operations or specialized tasks on supported desktop platforms.

From $300 · 3-8 weeks

Overview

Desktop development fits tasks that need offline operation, local file processing, connected hardware or heavy data handling on the user's machine. We agree on target operating systems, design the interface and data storage, build the application and package it with an installer and update mechanism. You receive signed or ready-to-sign installers, source code, build instructions and a user guide.
