Which to pick

tauri if your UI is HTML, CSS and a JavaScript framework.
dioxus if you want to write the UI itself in Rust with a React-like model across web, desktop and mobile.

Downloads are not quality. The quiet-day baseline is our steadiest public number for real use (release-day spikes from mirrors and CI removed), and reverse dependencies count maintainers who chose the crate. How we compute it.

Each crate in detail
