No Electron runtime
The OS WebView renders the UI. Avelra does not ship a second browser or a Node runtime.
Desktop framework · Technical preview
Build fast.
Ship tiny.
A desktop framework for web developers: your HTML, CSS and JavaScript inside a tiny native shell. No bundled browser engine.
Public downloads are not open yet. We are validating installers and docs before the preview.
Why Avelra
Small by default.
Native when needed.
Use the system WebView, keep the client as data, and add native capabilities only where the web stops.
Your web stack
HTML, CSS and JavaScript stay in client/. No new language is required to build the interface.
A real native shell
Sidecar extensions and native calls cover the cases where a browser alone is not enough.
How it works
From client to one executable.
The client is served locally, packed as data, and opened by a small native runtime. The build step does not compile your HTML.
- Write the clientKeep
index.html, styles and scripts in one folder. - Run the shellThe runtime starts a local static server and opens the WebView.
- Pack the appThe post-build packer appends the client payload to the native executable.
