Are Native Windows Apps making a comeback?

I've spent long time lately building a truly native Windows app instead of an Electron wrapper.

The performance difference is huge (0.8s startup vs 5s+), but development was harder.

Windows users: Do you actually care if an app is "Native" vs "Web-based"? Or is functionality all that matters?

Why I'm betting on "One-Time Payments" in a Subscription world 💸

"You'll never become a unicorn with one-time payments."

Maybe not. But I might just stay sane.

I'm putting the finishing touches on Invoices Reader, and I decided to sell Lifetime Licenses instead of a monthly subscription.

Why?

Is it ethical for SaaS accounting tools to train AI on user data? 🛡️

I've been building a fintech tool for the MENA region, and I made a controversial choice: I built a desktop app.

Everyone told me to build a SaaS. "It's easier to scale," they said. "You can charge subscriptions," they said.

But I couldn't get past one thing: Financial Data Privacy.

As a developer, I know that once data hits a cloud server, "privacy" becomes a policy, not a guarantee. With Local AI (Ollama/Lm studio), we can now do OCR and analysis entirely offline.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of Invoices Reader. I built this tool because I was suffering from "Subscription Fatigue". I'm a Chief Accountant, and my team every month wasted hours manually typing invoice data into accounting Apps & Excel. I looked for automation tools, but they all fell into two buckets: 1. Expensive SaaS: $50/mo just to read a few PDFs? No thanks. 2. Privacy Nightmares: "Free" online converters that upload my bank details and client info to random servers. I decided to build the third option: A native Windows app that gives YOU the choice: 1. Local AI (Ollama/LMStudio): For 100% offline privacy. 2. Cloud AI (Gemini/OpenRouter): For maximum power on complex docs. With Invoices Reader, you get: ✅ Flexibility: Switch between Local/Cloud AI instantly. ✅ Deep Tech: Extracts Line Items, Tables, and ZATCA QR codes. ✅ Speed: Native performance, optimized for Windows. ✅ Ownership: One-time purchase, lifetime license. It supports English and Arabic right out of the box (including Saudi ZATCA e-invoices). I'm hanging out here all day to answer your questions about Local AI, Windows Dev, or the death of subscriptions. Let me know what you think! 👇
