        # Conveyor

[Conveyor](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev) makes distributing desktop apps a whole lot easier:

* **[Sophisticated software updates](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/understanding-updates/)**

  * [Platform native package types and update systems](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/package-formats/), without any lockin.

  * Chrome-style silent background updates

  * Web-style synchronous update on launch

  * Advanced [delta updates](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/15.0/understanding-updates/#delta-updates).

  * No code changes necessary.

* **App framework integration:**

  * [Electron](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/configs/electron/): [simpler than Forge/Builder/Squirrel](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/15.0/comparisons/electron-comparisons/), generates ASAR files, can read `package.json` files.

  * [JVM](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/configs/jvm/): bundles a `jlink` optimized JVM, custom native launchers, many optimizations and usability improvements for desktop apps.

  * [Flutter](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/configs/flutter/): easily ship apps that share code with mobile.

* **Excellent support for CI/CD:**

  * Package and deploy directly for _every platform you support_ from any Linux build agent, without needing Mac/Windows workers.

  * Automatic releasing to the Microsoft Store, web servers, S3 or [GitHub releases](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/configs/download-pages#publishing-through-github)

  * A [GitHub Action](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/continuous-integration/#using-github-actions)

  * Support for [cloud signing services and HSMs](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/configs/keys-and-certificates/#cloud-remote-signing-windows-only), eliminating the need for USB Windows signing keys.

* **Easy and powerful code signing:**

  * Can sign/notarize apps for every OS from any OS

  * Generates CSRs for easier purchasing from certificate authorities

  * Can store root keys in the macOS keychain for extra security

  * Handles keys of different formats

  * Self-signing and Microsoft Store support for reducing the cost of certificates

* **Icon generation**, rendering and format conversion

* **Generates a download page for you**

  * Auto-detects the user's OS and CPU architecture

  * "Big Green Button" download UX.

* **Scaffold projects** for native C++, Electron, JavaFX (JVM) and Jetpack Compose Desktop (JVM)

* Pierce the abstraction! Over 120 different settings let you take control of every OS specific detail, or ignore them to accept the smart defaults.
