So for me, BookFusion isn't up to the task until there are actual programs for the different platforms.
We do not have a native Windows app yet but we will definitely have one. We are just concentrating all efforts to updating the iOS, Android and Web app currently.

It will be truly native and not some reactive native or electron app that are usually quick to build but are not very performant beyond a certain stage. We hope to start working on the native desktop app some time in 2023.

We have a form that anyone can complete to be contacted to join the early beta https://airtable.com/shrVRQtfizc89gcul


With the current approach we want to get the app quality very high for iOS, Android and Web and then concentrate on native desktop for Windows, Linux and OSX. The Web app currently fills the gap and can be used on all desktops for now just not offline. The iOS and Android apps work fully offline now as well.
