Flutter for desktop apps: How to build native-looking desktop apps with Flutter

Desktop apps have been around for decades, and they remain a popular way to access productivity tools, creative software, and gaming experiences. But with the rise of mobile devices and the web, desktop app development has become increasingly complex and time-consuming.

That’s where Flutter comes in. Flutter is a cross-platform development framework that allows you to build beautiful native apps for iOS, Android, the web, and now, desktop.

Flutter’s desktop support is still under development, but it has come a long way in recent years. You can now use Flutter to build fully native desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Let us explore the benefits of using Flutter for desktop app development

  • Native performance: Flutter apps are compiled to native code, so they offer native performance on all supported platforms, including desktop.
  • Cross-platform development: Flutter allows you to build a single codebase for your desktop and mobile apps. This can save you a lot of time and effort, and make it easier to maintain your apps over time.
  • Hot reload: Flutter’s hot reload feature allows you to see changes to your code reflected in your app without having to restart the app. This can make development much faster and more efficient.
  • Large community: Flutter has a large and active community, so there are plenty of resources available to help you get started with desktop app development.

Flutter is a great choice for SME business owners and founders in the USA, UK, SG and India who are looking to develop high-quality desktop apps quickly and efficiently.

Desktop Apps are more reliable, fast and secure than web apps.

Desktop apps are a valuable tool for SMEs of all sizes. Desktop apps can help SMEs to be more productive, efficient, and profitable.

  • To help with daily tasks such as writing letters, creating presentations, and sending emails.
  • To manage customer relationships (CRM apps) such as keeping track of customer contact information, sales history, and support tickets.
  • To manage business processes such as accounting, inventory, and manufacturing (ERP satellite apps).
  • To plan, track, and execute projects (project management apps).
  • To create marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, and social media posts (creative apps).
  • To meet specific industry needs, such as managing patient records in a healthcare setting or tracking student admission till alumni in a school setting (industry-specific apps).

Cost benefits of using Flutter for desktop app development

  • Reduced development costs: Flutter’s cross-platform support allows you to build desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux using a single codebase. This can significantly reduce the cost of development, as you only need to hire and manage a single team of developers.
  • Increased development speed: Flutter’s hot reload feature allows you to see changes to your code reflected in your app without having to restart the app. This can significantly increase the speed of development, as you can spend less time debugging your code and more time developing new features.
  • Improved user experience: Flutter apps offer native performance on all supported platforms. This means that your users will have a smooth and responsive experience when using your app, regardless of the platform they are using. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Reduced training costs: Flutter is a relatively new framework, but it is easy to learn, especially if you are already familiar with Dart or another object-oriented programming language. This can help to reduce the cost of training your developers on how to use Flutter.

A recent study by McKinsey & Company found that Flutter can help businesses reduce the cost of desktop app development by up to 30%. The study also found that Flutter can help businesses reduce the time to market for desktop apps by up to 50%.
