Gallium is a Go library for building desktop applications with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS UIs rendered in a Chromium-based webview. It provides APIs for managing windows, menus, dock icons, and desktop notifications.

Use cases

  • build a desktop app in Go with an HTML UI
  • create native menus and notifications for a Go app
  • wrap a web page in a native macOS window
  • make an Electron-like app using Go instead of Node.js
  • show desktop notifications from a Go application

When to choose

  • you want to write desktop app logic in Go with a web-based UI
  • your target platform is macOS only
  • you prefer a lightweight Go library over Electron

When to avoid

  • you need Windows or Linux support
  • you need a stable, production-ready API
  • you want a mature framework with active maintenance
