Packages an Electron app into installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, handles code signing and macOS notarization, and pairs with electron-updater for auto-updates.

Reach for it when:
- Shipping Electron apps to users
- Auto-updates from GitHub Releases or your own server

Worth knowing: Signing certificates and Apple notarization are separate costs and accounts you set up yourself.
