Desktop apps with Go and a web frontend, on the system webview.

MyGo apps show their UI in the webview the OS already has: WKWebView on macOS, WebKitGTK on Linux, WebView2 on Windows. An app is a single Go binary of a few megabytes, focused on low memory and CPU use.

• Pure Go, no cgo: build for every platform from any machine.
• Typed IPC: bind Go services, stream values through channels and send typed events; the TypeScript client is generated from your Go code.
• Desktop APIs: windows, menus, tray, dialogs, notifications, global shortcuts, deep links, file associations and more.
• Ready to ship: app bundles and disk images, Windows installers, Debian packages and a Linux install script, code signing, notarization, and signed auto-updates with delta updates and an update window in the manner of Sparkle.

type Greeter struct{}

// Greet returns a greeting.
func (Greeter) Greet(name string) string { return "Hello, " + name }

func main() {
	mygo.Bind(Greeter{})
	mygo.App.WhenReady(func() {
		mygo.NewWindow(mygo.WindowOptions{Title: "Hello", URL: "/"})
	})
	if err := mygo.App.Run(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

import { Greeter } from "./mygo"; // generated

document.body.textContent = await Greeter.greet("Ada");

With Go 1.27+ and Bun:

bunx mygo-cli init my-app      # or: npx mygo-cli init my-app
cd my-app
bun run dev

Or, without npm — the CLI is a Go program, which Go runs too:

go run github.com/egoist/mygo/cmd/mygo@latest init my-app
cd my-app
bun run dev

Read the documentation.

MyGo is at v0.1: the system webview on macOS 12+, Linux and Windows 10+ (x64 and arm64). v0.2 will add a bundled CEF option.
