A command-line tool that packs a Node.js application, including its dependencies and native modules, into a single self-contained executable. It works without code changes and supports dynamic require and native C++ addons on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Use cases

• package a node.js app into a single executable
• distribute a nodejs cli tool as one binary
• bundle node app with native c++ addons into executable
• create standalone binary distribution of my node project
• ship nodejs application without requiring node installed
• compile node app to exe

When to choose

• You need a single-file executable of a Node.js app with no code changes
• Your app uses dynamic require or native C++ addons
• You target Windows, macOS, and Linux

When to avoid

• You need actively maintained tooling or modern Node version support
• You want Electron-style GUI packaging
• You need cross-compilation between OSes
