## Architecture
-This is an **Electron desktop application** - an AI-powered live interview assistant that provides real-time transcription and AI suggestions during job interviews.
+The app is built as a Tauri desktop client with a React frontend.
-**Stack:** React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui (renderer), Electron 40 (main), Vite (build).
+### Frontend
-### Process Split
+- `src/` — React, Tailwind, hooks, components, pages.
+- `src/lib/tauri-bridge.ts` exposes the IPC compatibility API used by renderer hooks.
-```
-src/main/ ← Electron main process (Node.js)
-src/renderer/ ← React/Vite frontend
-```
-
-The path alias `@/*` resolves to `./renderer/*`.
-
-**Main process** handles: audio capture, WebSocket connections to backend, IPC with renderer, Electron Store persistence, global hotkeys, auto-updates.
+### Native Backend
-**Renderer** handles: UI, routing, state display. It never calls backend APIs directly - all backend communication goes through IPC to main.
+- `src-tauri/src/` — Tauri command handlers, services, state, and native utilities.
+- `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` — macOS and Windows bundle settings.
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` — Rust dependency manifest.
### IPC Bridge
-[src/main/preload.cts](src/main/preload.cts) exposes `window.electronAPI` to the renderer with namespaced APIs: `config`, `auth`, `payment`, `llm`, `appState`, `transcription`, `liveSuggestion`, `actionSuggestion`, `tools`, `window`, `autoUpdater`, `external`.
-
-IPC handlers live in [src/main/ipc/](src/main/ipc/) (one file per domain). Services in [src/main/services/](src/main/services/) contain the business logic called by handlers.
-
-### State Management (Renderer)
-
-Two distinct stores:
-
-1. **AppState** ([src/renderer/hooks/use-app-state.tsx](src/renderer/hooks/use-app-state.tsx)) - React Context, synced from main via IPC. Holds real-time interview state: running status, transcripts, AI suggestions, credits, backend health. Read-only in renderer; mutated by main process pushing updates.
+- Tauri `invoke()` is exposed through `tauriApi` and assigned to `window.electronAPI` for compatibility.
+- Transcription, permissions, payment, config, and window control are handled through Tauri commands.
-2. **ConfigStore** ([src/renderer/hooks/use-config-store.ts](src/renderer/hooks/use-config-store.ts)) - Zustand store backed by Electron Store. Holds user settings, auth tokens, audio/video device selection, interview configuration (CV, job description). Persisted to disk.
+## Key Implementation Notes
-### API Layer (Main Process)
+- Electron has been removed from the repository.
+- The build flows are now Tauri-first.
+- Native audio loopback is implemented in `src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs`.
+- macOS screen recording permission is validated natively.
+- The GitHub Actions workflow builds Tauri bundles for Windows and macOS.
-[src/main/api/client.ts](src/main/api/client.ts) - `ApiClient` class: fetch-based, Bearer token auth, streaming support. Wrapped by domain-specific clients: `AuthApi`, `LLMApi`, `PaymentApi`, `HealthCheckApi` in [src/main/api/](src/main/api/).
+## Build and Release Workflow
-Backend URL is defined in [src/main/consts.ts](src/main/consts.ts).
+The workflow at `.github/workflows/manual-cross-platform-release.yml`:
-### Routing (Renderer)
+- builds on Windows and macOS in parallel
+- installs pnpm dependencies
+- runs `pnpm tauri:build` (which builds the frontend via `beforeBuildCommand` automatically)
+- uploads bundle artifacts
+- publishes a GitHub release when the `publish` input is enabled
-Hash-based router (required for Electron): `/` → auth flow → `/main` (interview UI) → `/payment`.
+## Platform Support
-Router defined in [src/renderer/router.tsx](src/renderer/router.tsx).
+- Windows 11+
+- macOS 14.4+
-### Key Features
+## Notes for Developers
-- **Transcription:** Dual-channel (speaker + interviewer mic) via WebSocket streaming - [src/main/services/transcript-service.ts](src/main/services/transcript-service.ts)
-- **Live Suggestions:** Real-time AI responses based on CV + job description - [src/main/services/live-suggestion-service.ts](src/main/services/live-suggestion-service.ts)
-- **Action Suggestions:** Screenshot-based problem solving (up to 3 images) - [src/main/services/action-suggestion-service.ts](src/main/services/action-suggestion-service.ts)
-- **Credits:** Purchase and usage tracking via payment API
-- **Auto-Updates:** electron-updater publishing to GitHub releases
+- There is no `src/main/` Electron host code in this repo anymore.
+- Use the Tauri app as the single desktop implementation.
+- Update native dependencies in `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` and frontend dependencies in `package.json`.
+- Package manager is pnpm — do not use npm or yarn.

+# Power Interview AI — Tauri Desktop Interview Assistant
+
+## Overview
+
+Power Interview AI is a native desktop interview assistant built with **Tauri**, **React**, and **TypeScript**.
+It delivers live transcription, intelligent interview suggestions, and secure local configuration on:
+
+- **Windows 11+**
+- **macOS 14.4+**
+
+This repository contains the frontend UI in `src/renderer/` and the Tauri backend in `src-tauri/`.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- Real-time transcription of interviewer and candidate audio
+- Dual-channel audio capture (microphone + system audio)
+- Native screen recording permissions for macOS
+- Fast Tauri desktop packaging for Windows and macOS
+- Lightweight local state and secure storage
+- Automatic release packaging via GitHub Actions
+
+## Platform Notes
+
+### Windows
+
+- Uses system audio capture via Tauri and browser media APIs
+- Requires Windows 11 or later for reliable audio capture
+- Uses the default output device and WASAPI-compatible loopback when available
+
+### macOS
+
+- Requires macOS 14.4 or later
+- Uses screen recording permission to capture system audio alongside microphone input
+- If system audio capture is unavailable, users should install a virtual audio device such as BlackHole or Loopback
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 22.x
+- npm
+- Rust toolchain (for Tauri builds)
+
+### Install
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/PowerInterviewAI/client-app.git
+cd power-interview-client
+npm install
+```
+
+### Development
+
+- `npm run dev` — start the renderer only
+- `npm run tauri:dev` — launch the Tauri desktop app locally
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm run tauri:build
+```
+
+### Package Output
+
+Tauri bundles are produced under `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/`.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+power-interview-client/
+├── src/ # React renderer app
+├── public/ # Static assets
+├── src-tauri/ # Rust Tauri backend and native commands
+├── package.json # npm scripts and dependencies
+├── README.md # Developer documentation
+└── .github/ # CI / release workflow
+```
+
+## Tauri Architecture
+
+- `src/renderer/` contains the React UI and Tauri bridge code.
+- `src-tauri/src/` contains native command handlers and services.
+- `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` defines the macOS and Windows bundle settings.
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` manages Rust dependencies.
+
+## Loopback Audio Capture
+
+System audio capture is implemented as a Tauri-friendly, platform-aware helper:
+
+- **Windows:** Attempts native WASAPI loopback capture
+- **macOS:** Validates screen recording permission and uses browser display capture
+
+This is the most stable cross-platform approach for modern Tauri desktop clients.
+
+## Build & Release
+
+A GitHub Actions workflow is configured at `.github/workflows/manual-cross-platform-release.yml`.
+It installs dependencies, builds the renderer, and runs `npm run tauri:build` for both Windows and macOS.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Electron support has been removed from this repository.
+- Legacy Electron files, scripts, and build paths are no longer part of the project.
+- Use Tauri for all local desktop builds.
