Same web cores, verbatim
Casual Editor and Casual Sheets ship as web apps first; Casual Desktop wraps the same bundle. No second code path, no "desktop-only" feature drift — fixes and features in the web cores reach the desktop on the next release.
Casual Desktop · in progress
The same editors, off the network.
A native binary that reuses the Casual Editor and Casual Sheets web cores verbatim. Single-user, offline. Tauri shell, Rust glue. macOS, Linux, Windows. Same shipped UX as the web, no SaaS in the loop.

The shape
Reuse the web build. Replace the chrome.
Single-user only
Real-time co-edit stays in the Docker image where it earns its keep. The desktop binary is intentionally offline: open a file, edit it, save it. No server, no port, no port forwarding.
Native file dialogs
Native macOS / Linux / Windows file pickers. Drag-and-drop from Finder / Explorer / nautilus into the window. The browser sandbox limitations on file access disappear in the desktop shell.
Ships behind a fidelity gate
First binary lands after both Editor and Sheets cross the ≥ 90% fidelity floor. Sheets is already there for everyday workbooks; Editor's gap matrix is the active work.
Roadmap. Tauri scaffolding only today. The first
public binary ships once the web Editor's per-tag round-trip audit
crosses 90%. Sign-up for release notifications isn't here yet — watch
