Bring the power of Rich Internet Applications to the desktop and open up a world of opportunities for interacting with your users.
Consistent Brand and Experience on Multiple Platforms
Multiple desktop platforms are supported by Adobe Air, so you can be confident your application will be accessible and usable on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Developing a desktop app in Adobe Air can also simplify the process of creating a mobile version for Android and the iPhone. Developing for multiple platforms ensures maximum usability and exposure to your application.
Adobe Air lets you control the look and feel of your app, allowing you to maintain your business’s branding throughout the experience.
Fast Access and Constant Presence
Once a user has installed the desktop version of your RIA, they will be able to retrieve the information they need quickly, without opening a web browser first. Like traditional desktop applications, your app can be minimized to a user’s dock or taskbar. From there it can be quickly accessed or provide update notifications at any time.
With access to a local database and file system, the application can store data and activity locally. This allows your users to keep working without an internet connection. Once a connection is established, the application can automatically synchronize with the online database keeping everything up-to-date.
