RAIN is the commerce platform the web has been waiting for: a storefront customers fall in love with, a back-office that runs the whole business, and a checkout that simply closes the sale.
And this is its companion native desktop app — Mac, Windows, and Linux — your entire store, one click from the dock. Nothing else looks, feels, or sells like it.

Some stores just look built. RAIN looks crafted.

It's a complete, modern commerce platform — fast where it counts, elegant where it shows, and relentless about turning visitors into orders. Everything it takes to sell online, and nothing you have to fight with. A storefront your customers fall for on their phones. An admin you actually enjoy opening. A checkout that closes the sale instead of losing it.

No plugins to babysit. No theme that breaks on the next update. Just one beautifully engineered store that feels premium from the first tap to the thank-you page.

_{What your shoppers see. A storefront so good they forget they're shopping — pixel-perfect on desktop and phone, light and dark, every single time.}

• Drag-and-drop home builder — compose your homepage from rich widgets (heroes, carousels, spotlights, parallax, personalized rows) with scheduling, audience, and per-device targeting baked in.
• Mobile-first by design — product cards, shop, cart, and a sticky checkout CTA tuned for thumbs, with a polished dark mode.
• Installs like an app — full PWA support and a one-tap install prompt put your store on the home screen.

• Multi-gateway payments — built to plug into local and global processors (CMI and friends), so customers pay the way they trust.
• Multi-currency & tax — decimal-safe rounding and tax reporting that hold up to the accountant.
• Order tracking — signed-in shoppers see their orders auto-load with live tracking; everyone else can track by number.

• One dashboard for orders, customers (CRM), and fulfillment.
• Grow on evidence — A/B testing, AI assists, SEO & competitor analytics, and a ⌘K command palette.
• Sleep at night — system monitoring, a public status page, uptime guards, and admin IP allow-listing.

_{Where you run the empire. Revenue, orders, customers, stock, traffic, and AI — one calm, beautiful command center that surfaces exactly what needs you, and quietly handles the rest.}

We didn't build another store builder. We built the one that makes the rest feel dated — an app like the web hasn't seen before, beautiful enough to show off and powerful enough to run the whole business.

One platform, every surface — web, phone, and desktop. Zero compromise.

RAIN already lives on the web and installs as a PWA on phones. This repository adds the final surface: a true native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux — built on Tauri v2 (Rust + the system webview, ~5 MB, not Electron).

No browser tabs to hunt for. No bookmarks that get lost. Just your store, in the dock, opening in a clean window where you sign in like normal — password and 2FA included.

1. Type your store URL once — the launcher remembers it (and your recent stores), and shows your store's logo as you type.
2. Optionally pre-fill your username + password — stored only on your device, only if you opt in.
3. Open — your store loads in a focused native window. You finish signing in there, 2FA and all — exactly like a browser, just without the browser.

🔒 Your 2FA code is never stored or auto-typed. You always enter it yourself, in the store window.

Every file is named for exactly what it is — grab the one for your machine:

_{Windows: -Setup.exe is the normal installer · .msi is for managed/enterprise rollouts. Linux: .AppImage is portable (just chmod +x and run) · .deb for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint · .rpm for Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE.}

→ Download the latest release

_{First launch on macOS/Windows shows a security prompt for unsigned apps — see SIGNING.md to open it in one click (or sign & notarize so it opens directly).}

RAIN — your whole store, beautifully done.
_{See it live, explore the platform, and make it your own.}

✦ Explore the RAIN store →

RAIN Desktop is a launcher — it contains none of the store's code. It simply opens a URL you choose in a native window. You need a running RAIN store web app for it to point at.

You can connect a store in two ways:

A) At runtime (no rebuild) — open the app, type your store URL (e.g. https://shop.yourbrand.com or https://admin.yourbrand.com), and hit Open site. Done.

B) Baked in at build time — ship a build that already knows your URL:

npm run set-url -- https://admin.yourbrand.com

The launcher will pre-fill that URL on first run (it stays editable).

Cross-OS binaries cannot be compiled from a single machine, so the reliable "one command, all 3 versions" path is CI:

1. Push this folder to a GitHub repo.
2. Actions → build → Run workflow → (optionally) type your default URL → Run.
3. When the three jobs finish, the installers are attached to a draft Release: macOS .dmg, Windows .msi/.exe, Linux .deb/.AppImage/.rpm.

Or push a tag to build and publish in one step:

git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0

The workflow auto-generates a placeholder icon if none is committed, so builds never fail.

Install once:

• Rust ≥ 1.77 → https://rustup.rs
• Node ≥ 18 + npm
• Tauri's per-OS system deps → https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites
  • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
  • Linux: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev librsvg2-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev patchelf
  • Windows: WebView2 runtime (preinstalled on Win 10/11) + MSVC Build Tools

Then:

cd rain-desktop
npm install
npm run icons                 # generate the icon set from app-icon.png
npm run set-url -- https://admin.yourbrand.com   # optional: bake a default URL
npm run dev                   # run live
npm run build                 # installers for THIS OS → src-tauri/target/release/bundle/

The branded artwork in assets/ (icon, banner, diagrams) is plain SVG — edit and re-render with rsvg-convert or any SVG tool.

└─ package.json

• The loaded website runs in its own window with no access to native commands — only the local launcher window has IPC (see capabilities/default.json).
• The URL is validated (https/http only) before a window is opened.
• Pre-filled credentials live in the launcher's local storage on your machine, only when you opt in. For a hardened build, move them to the OS keychain via tauri-plugin-stronghold / keyring (left out to keep v1 dependency-free).
• 2FA is never stored or auto-entered.
