+# hyprcrd — Electron Desktop App
+
+Wraps the PHP backend in an Electron shell. A static PHP binary is bundled
+per platform so users don't need PHP installed.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. On launch, the app starts PHP's built-in server on a random port (`127.0.0.1`)
+2. `router.php` replaces Apache's `.htaccess` rewrite rules
+3. A `BrowserWindow` loads `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/`
+4. On quit, the PHP process is killed cleanly
+
+Data is stored in `data/hyprcrd.db` (SQLite), relative to the project root
+(dev) or inside the app's `resources/` directory (packaged).
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+cd electron
+npm install
+npm start          # launches the app using system or bundled PHP
+```
+
+Requires PHP 8.1+ with `pdo_sqlite` and `zip` extensions — either on
+the system PATH or as a static binary in `php-bin/<platform>/`.
+
+## Bundling PHP
+
+Static PHP binaries are not checked into git. Fetch them before building:
+
+```bash
+./fetch-php.sh     # downloads ~20MB per platform from static-php-cli
+```
+
+Or place them manually (see `php-bin/README.md` for sources):
+
+    php-bin/linux/php
+    php-bin/darwin/php
+    php-bin/win32/php.exe
+
+The app prefers the bundled binary. If none is found, it falls back to
+system PHP. If neither exists, a dialog tells the user what to install.
+
+## Building distributables
+
+```bash
+npm run dist
+```
+
+Uses `electron-builder`. Output:
+
+| Platform | Format   | Location          |
+|----------|----------|-------------------|
+| macOS    | `.dmg`   | `dist/`           |
+| Windows  | NSIS     | `dist/`           |
+| Linux    | AppImage | `dist/`           |
+
+## File structure
+
+```
+electron/
+  main.js          Electron main process — spawns PHP, creates window
+  preload.js       Exposes window.hyprcrdElectron (platform, isElectron)
+  router.php       PHP built-in server router (replaces .htaccess)
+  fetch-php.sh     Downloads static PHP binaries for all platforms
+  php-bin/         Platform-specific PHP binaries (gitignored)
+```
