CLI Proxy API UI

A desktop control panel for managing cli-proxy-api, built with Tauri v2 for native tray behavior on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

What it does

• Start, stop, and restart your local cli-proxy-api process
• Toggle runtime preferences (start proxy automatically)
• Detect connected providers by scanning auth files in your configured auth directory
• Show live process logs directly in the UI
• Provide one-click copy for provider auth commands
• Uses native IPC commands (no local HTTP endpoint or embedded web server)

Run desktop app

npm install
npm run desktop

This launches the desktop app and keeps it available in your system tray/menu bar. Closing the window hides it to tray; use the tray menu to reopen or quit.

Wayland sessions are auto-detected and webkit compatibility flags are applied automatically at startup.

Build installers

npm run dist

Platform defaults

• Settings are saved in the platform config directory (ProjectDirs) under cli-proxy-api-ui/settings.json
• Auth directory is managed automatically at <platform-config>/cli-proxy-api-ui/auth
• Config file is managed automatically at <platform-config>/cli-proxy-api-ui/config.yaml
• Relative paths and ~/... paths are normalized automatically
• If config path is set to a directory, config.yaml is appended automatically
• Launch command is generated as cli-proxy-api -config <resolved-config-path>
• Tray integration depends on your desktop environment supporting StatusNotifier/AppIndicator

Suggested setup

1. Install cli-proxy-api and make sure it is in your PATH.
2. Optional: enable Start proxy automatically.
3. Click Start.
4. Use Authenticate for a provider to open a terminal and run login.
