Desktop
When System Bridge runs on your desktop, it adds an application menu entry and a system tray icon so you can launch and control it without the terminal.
Launching
Section titled “Launching”Installing System Bridge adds a System Bridge entry to your desktop app launcher: the Start Menu on Windows, or your application menu on Linux. Launch it to start the backend and open the web client.
For terminal launch, services, and autostart, see Running.

- Open web client: open the web client in your default browser.
- Launch TUI: open the interactive TUI in a terminal window.
- Open logs directory: open the folder containing the application logs.
- Quit: stop the backend and exit System Bridge.
