NatUI is currently used directly from its repository. Clone the source, install the pnpm workspace, build the native host for your platform, then run one of the included examples.

  1. Complete source setup.
  2. Build the macOS or Windows host.
  3. Read the first app walkthrough.
  4. Explore the kitchen sink for a working app-shell and multi-component example.

The JavaScript runtime validates the protocol version and platform reported by the host during startup. Build both sides from the same checkout for the simplest known-compatible setup, although any host and renderer that both implement protocol version 1 can interoperate.

Introduction

Build real SwiftUI and WinUI 3 desktop interfaces with React and TypeScript.

Source setup

Clone the NatUI repository and install its pnpm workspace prerequisites.
