Cursor helped you write it; your host serves it. Deskifier gives your users a desktop version: signed installers for Mac, Windows and Linux that load your deployed app and update with every deploy.
Cursor itself is a desktop app, but that’s for you: it’s the editor you build in. What you built with it is most likely a web app, and your users open it in a browser tab.
You could ask Cursor to scaffold Electron around it, and it will. Writing the code is the quick part. Then you own everything around it: signing certificates for Apple and Windows, notarisation, builds on each operating system (macOS builds need a Mac), an update server, and keeping all of it working as Electron moves on. If you enjoy that work or need offline bundled code, it’s a reasonable path. If you’d rather keep shipping your product, Deskifier points a native app at your deployed URL and runs that pipeline for you.
No. The desktop app loads your deployed site as it is. You only add code when you want native features such as notifications or a tray menu.
Point it at the Deskifier docs, describe the feature, and ask it to check that window.deskifier exists before each call. That object is only there in the desktop app, so the web version keeps working.
You can. The code is the small part. Certificates, notarisation, per-platform builds and an update feed are ongoing work that Deskifier handles for you.
No. Your server, database and auth stay where they are. Sessions and cookies work as they do in Chrome and persist between launches.
Dev builds are free, no card required. You pay per platform when you ship to users.
