Have a look at the excellent [https://github.com/dceejay/electron-node-red](https://github.com/dceejay/electron-node-red) to generate an `.exe` application.

Note - I have never done that so no idea if it possible ...

[edit] - just had a quick look - and there are zero docs on how to get electron builder to build a suitable apk... the word apk is mentioned - but no examples - requirements for headers, manifests etc... so if anyone figures it out please let us know.
