Desktop Application

Flare for Work.

Cross-platform screenshot and annotation tool built with Rust and Tauri. Native performance with a web-based UI.

Rust Tauri React WASM
The Challenge

Beyond Electron

Existing screenshot tools were either bloated Electron apps consuming 500MB+ of RAM or native apps that were hard to maintain across Windows, macOS, and Linux.


The client needed a lightweight, secure utility that could be deployed to thousands of enterprise workstations without bogged down the system.

Key Requirements
  • Size Installer under 10MB.
  • Speed Instant startup (<1s).
  • Security End-to-end encryption for captures.
  • Memory Low memory footprint (<50MB).
The Solution

Rust Backend

Core logic written in Rust for safety and performance, handling file I/O, encryption, and system shortcuts.

Tauri Runtime

Using the OS's native webview (WebView2/WebKit) to render the UI, keeping the binary size tiny.

React UI

A modern, responsive frontend for annotation tools, library management, and settings.
