I use ToDesktop for Conjure[0], and I love it. Given the nature of Conjure (Habit and Time Tracking), having a desktop app was important to many users, and many now use it instead of the web version (myself included).

As a solo developer, I avoided building a desktop app for months, mainly due to worrying about the maintenance overhead. I built the desktop app within a single day with ToDesktop Builder, and there has been no notable maintenance/overhead since (other than me over-engineering some features/enhancements).

ToDesktop's deployments are super smooth. The API and docs are pleasant to work with, which made integrating Conjure's habit and time tracking through the menu bar, native notifications, and multiple windows fairly straightforward.

I did worry about the performance and resource consumption with Electron-based apps, but the Apple M1/M2 Chips absolved that concern. Most of my users (mainly Mac and Windows) don't seem to mind/care/notice the Electron nature of the app.

Disclaimer: I'm also friends with the founder, he's from the same town as me in Ireland.
