fastframe 
 egui on rails. The desktop essentials around your app.

Build your interface with egui. Let fastframe handle the parts a desktop app
needs around it: native text, themes, tray menus, audio, media keys, sleep and
wake, notifications, and updates that can roll back.
Each capability is a small Rust crate. Take the ones you need, keep your own
layout and product decisions, and run on **Linux, macOS, and Windows**.
No telemetry or hosted service is required by the crates.

Spotifast, Solco,

## See it
Real egui windows from the font specimen,
using synthetic text. Interface weights and installed script fallbacks work in
both themes. The light specimen uses a validated local font.

Run it with `cargo run -p fastframe-fonts --example fonts`, or append
`-- /path/to/font.ttf` to try a local face. Installed fallback faces vary by platform.
## Start with fonts and text
Requires **Rust 1.98+** and **egui 0.36.2**. fastframe is not on crates.io yet;
pin every fastframe crate to the same release tag:
 [code] 
At startup, before the first frame:

Then add only what your app uses. Each crate README has its own setup example.
The getting started guide explains
integration, and the migration guide shows what the existing
apps replaced.
