Desktop app

Tray & menus

The desktop build wraps the dashboard in a native shell with a few extras.

System tray

The tray is opt-in. Enable Keep running in the tray in Settings and Granspace lives in the tray with a label showing how many projects are running and how many need attention. The tray menu offers Show Granspace, Discover projects, Refresh all git, quick-open for your projects, Check for updates, and Quit.

Closing behavior

• Tray off (default): closing the window quits Granspace.
• Tray on: closing the window hides it to the tray (the backend keeps running, watching your projects) — quit from the tray menu.

Start at login is a separate, independent opt-in in Settings.

Application menu

The native menu bar mirrors the app:

• File — Settings.
• Project — Discover, Clone by URL, Import from GitHub, Extensions, Export / Import manifest.
• Git — Refresh all.
• View — Home, Back/Forward, reload, zoom, full screen.
• Help — Documentation, Website, Download, Check for updates, About.

Notifications

The app raises OS notifications on meaningful events — a new port conflict, or a project that stopped on its own. Clicking a notification opens that project. Notifications can be toggled in Settings.
