GTK, Qt, and cross-platform applications that behave correctly on GNOME, KDE, Wayland, and every distribution you need to support.
Linux users are unusually good at spotting software that was written for another platform and dropped onto theirs. A well-built Linux app uses the system theme, honours the desktop’s shortcuts and portals, works on Wayland, and installs through the channel the user already trusts.
We build native GTK and Qt applications for that audience, and we also ship the pragmatic option (Electron, Tauri, or a JVM build) when a shared codebase is the right commercial call. Either way, you get packages for Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, and native distro repositories, tested on the distributions your users actually run.
Desktop software, developer tooling, and embedded interfaces built on Linux.
Desktop apps built with GTK 4 or Qt 6 that use the system theme, portals, and shortcuts your users already expect.
Electron, Tauri, Avalonia, and JVM applications with a Linux build that is a first-class release, not an afterthought.
Tooling for technical users: a scriptable command line and a graphical interface over the same well-tested core.
Single-purpose Linux interfaces for kiosks, control panels, and devices, built to run unattended for months at a time.
Every install path covered, with signed repositories and update channels you control rather than rent.
Bringing an existing Windows or macOS application to Linux without forking your codebase or your roadmap.
Native toolkits, systems languages, and the packaging formats that get your app onto real machines.
GTK and Qt apps that respect the desktop they run on.
From systems-level C++ to Electron builds that ship everywhere.
Tested on the distributions your users actually run.
One build, packaged for every install path a Linux user expects.

The differences between an app that runs on Linux and one that belongs there.
Wayland-native behaviour for window handling, clipboard, and screen capture, with a working X11 fallback.
Light and dark themes, accent colours, and icon sets that follow GNOME and KDE settings instead of overriding them.
Crisp rendering on mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups, including the fractional scaling users actually run.
Flatpak and Snap confinement with XDG portals for file access, so permissions stay explicit and minimal.
Correct systemd units, user services, and D-Bus interfaces for anything that needs to keep running.
Every package format built and tested in CI on each distribution, so a release is never a manual afternoon.
Linux users install software four different ways. We support all of them.
Flatpak builds published to Flathub, sandboxed with the portals your app genuinely needs.
Snap packages with automatic updates and staged release channels for beta testers.
A single portable file that runs anywhere, with no install step and no root required.
Signed .deb and .rpm packages in your own apt or dnf repository for managed fleets.
Targeting the distributions your users run, not just the one on our machines.
We agree which distributions, desktop environments, display servers, and architectures are in scope, before a line of code depends on the answer.
GTK, Qt, or cross-platform. We weigh how native the app needs to feel against how much of your codebase should be shared, and document the reasoning.
Designs that follow the GNOME or KDE human interface guidelines, including keyboard-driven workflows and both light and dark themes.
Iterative delivery with nightly builds published to a test channel, so you can install and run the real thing throughout the project.
Automated CI runs across the target distributions and desktops, plus manual passes on Wayland and X11 sessions and HiDPI setups.
Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, and native packages built, signed, and published, with update channels and crash reporting in place.
What clients ask us most before starting a Linux desktop project.
We test by default on Ubuntu LTS, Debian stable, Fedora, Arch, and openSUSE, and we can add others to the matrix. In practice, a Flatpak or Snap build covers the long tail of distributions on its own, while native .deb and .rpm packages cover the managed fleets that will not use sandboxed formats.
If Linux is a primary platform, or your users are developers and open-source-minded, a native GTK or Qt app will be received far better: smaller, faster, and properly themed. If Linux is one of three desktop targets for a business application, Electron or Tauri usually gives you a better return. We will tell you which case you are in.
Yes. We prepare the manifests, sandbox permissions, metadata, and screenshots, then take the submission through review. After launch we can keep publishing releases for you, or hand over a documented CI pipeline so your own team can.
Usually, yes. We start with an audit of the codebase and its dependencies to find what is genuinely platform-bound. Cross-platform frameworks tend to port in weeks; deeply native applications may need a rewritten UI layer over a shared core, and we will give you an honest estimate of which situation you are in before committing.
Yes. We build Wayland-native, since it is now the default session on Ubuntu, Fedora, and most current distributions, and we keep an X11 fallback for older environments. Screen capture, clipboard, and global shortcuts are handled through portals so they work correctly under both.
Linux is rarely the only target. We build and release the rest of the matrix too.
