Everything You Need to Package Node.js
From source code to standalone binary — bundle, compile, and ship your app to any platform.
Cross-Platform Builds
Build for Linux, macOS, and Windows from one machine. Hakobu produces native binaries for each target without separate build environments.
Zero-Dependency Output
Give users one standalone file they can run immediately. Native addons, static assets, and nested dependencies are packed inside it.
Rolldown Built-in
Ship an optimized package without extra bundler setup. Hakobu ships with Rolldown so your code is tree-shaken before packaging.
Instant Startup
Launch in milliseconds instead of waiting through Node startup overhead. Hakobu uses a patched Node runtime with V8 snapshots to accelerate boot.
Embedded Virtual Filesystem
Access assets without touching disk. Static files, templates, and dynamic modules live inside the binary's virtual filesystem. Reads are served from memory.
From Source to Executable in Three Steps
Point, package, ship. Hakobu handles the rest.
Point at your entrypoint
Hakobu scans your project, detects the entrypoint, and resolves ESM, CommonJS, and package exports automatically.
Bundle with a patched Node runtime
Your code is bundled with a patched Node binary and a snapshot of only the files your app uses. Nothing extra ships.
Ship one binary, anywhere
Hand your users a single file. No Node.js install, no npm, no environment setup — it just runs.
Stop shipping zip files. Ship a binary.
Turn your Node.js project into a standalone executable your users can download and run — on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
