Template Details
Catalyzer is an open-source cross-platform application starter template by odest on GitHub, licensed under MIT. It places Web, desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), and mobile (Android, iOS) in a single monorepo: apps/web is a Next.js application with SSR and PWA support, including a landing page and documentation pages; apps/native uses Next.js static export with Tauri's Rust backend to produce desktop and mobile native applications. Both ends import pages, layouts, state, and configuration from packages/core, and design system components, themes, and styles based on shadcn/ui from packages/ui.
The template includes over 40 light and dark themes, type-safe i18n for 10 languages (compatible with both SSR and static export), an MDX documentation architecture, PWA offline and caching strategies, and a CI/CD release process composed of GitHub Actions and Release Please. The project provides an npm create catalyzer@latest scaffolding CLI to configure the project name, identifier, and version, and can initialize git and install dependencies.
Before use, Node.js 20+, pnpm 8+, and stable Rust are required; building native applications also requires additional toolchains per platform (such as Xcode, Android Studio, C++ Build Tools). Site metadata must be modified in packages/core/src/config/site.ts, and the automated release process also requires enabling Actions read/write permissions in the repository and adjusting the merge strategy.

Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Environment requirements: Node.js 20+, pnpm 8+, and stable Rust; building native applications also requires platform tools such as Xcode, Android Studio, or C++ Build Tools
- 2
Use npm create catalyzer@latest (or the corresponding pnpm/yarn/bun command) to generate the project, then run pnpm install and pnpm dev
- 3
Before deployment, modify the site URL, title, and description in packages/core/src/config/site.ts
- 4
If enabling GitHub Actions and Release Please, grant Actions read/write permissions in the repository settings and allow creating/approving PRs, while keeping only squash merging to maintain a linear history
- 5
Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons need separate license verification; external services such as domains, hosting, and databases may incur additional charges
License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope is the code of this version and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version's code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.

Catalyzer is a starting point for building cross-platform apps. It covers **Web**, **Desktop** (Windows, macOS, Linux), and **Mobile** (Android, iOS) from the same shared UI, themes, and logic. Run the CLI, scaffold your project, and start building.
## 💡 Philosophy
- **Unified** - One codebase, every platform. Web and native share the same pages, components, and state through `packages/core` and `packages/ui`.
- **Ready** - 40+ themes, 10 languages, CI/CD, and a scaffolding CLI out of the box.
- **Portable** - Run `npm create catalyzer@latest`, brand your project, and own the code. No lock-in.
- **Strict** - End-to-end TypeScript, shared lint rules, and automated releases keep things solid.
## ✨ Features
- **Cross-Platform** - Single codebase deploys to web, desktop, and mobile
- **Shared Architecture** - Design system primitives in `packages/ui`, business logic and pages in `packages/core`
- **40+ Themes** - Light and dark variants of 40+ color schemes, plus custom theming support
- **10 Languages** - Type-safe i18n works with both SSR (web) and static export (native)
- **PWA** - Offline support, precaching, and runtime caching strategies for the web app
- **Landing Page** - Pre-built, SEO-optimized marketing pages designed to pitch your product
- **Docs Page** - Integrated, MDX-powered documentation architecture ready for your technical guides
- **Scaffolding CLI** - `npm create catalyzer@latest` sets up a branded, configured project
- **Turborepo** - Dependency-aware builds and caching
- **TypeScript** - Strict, end-to-end type safety with shared configs
- **CI/CD** - GitHub Actions + Release Please for automated builds and versioning
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- **[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)** v20 or higher
- **[pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)** v8 or higher
- **[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)** (latest stable, needed for native builds)
> [!NOTE]
> Building native apps requires additional platform-specific tools (e.g., Xcode, Android Studio, C++ Build Tools).
> See our [Docs](https://catalyzer.dev/docs) or Tauri's [Prerequisites Guide](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) for details.
### Create a New Project
```bash
npm create catalyzer@latest
```
<details>
<summary>Using other package managers</summary>
```bash
pnpm create catalyzer@latest
yarn create catalyzer@latest
npx create-catalyzer@latest
bunx create-catalyzer@latest
```
</details>
The CLI configures your project name, identifiers, and versions. It can also initialize git and install dependencies for you.
### Start Developing
```bash
cd <your-project-name>
# Run this only if you skipped dependency installation during scaffolding
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```
This starts both the web app (http://localhost:3000) and the native desktop app in parallel.
### Configuration
Before deploying or sharing your project, make sure to update the site metadata (URLs, headline, and description) in:
`packages/core/src/config/site.ts`
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **GitHub Actions & Release Please:** For the automated release pipelines and changelog generation to function properly, you **must** configure the following repository settings:
>
> 1. **Workflow Permissions** (Settings > Actions > General): Grant **Read and write permissions** and check **Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests**.
> 2. **Pull Request Merging** (Settings > General): To maintain the required linear git history for the release bot, uncheck `Allow merge commits` and `Allow rebase merging`. Leave only **`Allow squash merging`** checked, and set the default commit message to **`Pull request title`**.
## 📦 Overview
### Monorepo Structure
```
apps/
web/ → Next.js SSR — web app, landing page, docs, PWA
native/ → Next.js (Static) + Tauri 2 — desktop & mobile
packages/
core/ → Business logic: pages, stores, hooks, providers, config
ui/ → Design system: shadcn/ui primitives, themes, styles
i18n/ → 10-language type-safe translations (SSR & static)
cli/ → Scaffolding tool (npm create catalyzer@latest)
typescript-config/ → Shared TypeScript configs
```
Both `web` and `native` import pages, layouts, and state from `packages/core`, and design system primitives from `packages/ui`. The web app runs with SSR and PWA support. The native app uses a static HTML export served by Tauri's Rust backend.
