VibeTunnel Tauri App

This is a cross-platform version of VibeTunnel built with Tauri v2.

Architecture

The Tauri app provides:

• System tray/menu bar integration
• Native window management
• Cross-platform terminal PTY support (to be implemented)
• Secure IPC between frontend and backend

Development

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.70+
• Node.js 18+
• Platform-specific dependencies:
  • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
  • Linux: webkit2gtk-4.1, libayatana-appindicator3-dev
  • Windows: WebView2 (usually pre-installed on Windows 10/11)

Running in Development

1. Start the Node.js server (in the web directory):

   npm run dev
   

2. In another terminal, run the Tauri app:

   npm run tauri:dev
   

Building for Production

npm run tauri:build

This will create platform-specific binaries in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

Features

• Menu Bar App: Runs as a system tray application
• Web UI: Uses the existing VibeTunnel web interface
• Native Integration: Platform-specific features through Tauri APIs
• Auto-updater: Built-in update mechanism
• Single Instance: Prevents multiple instances from running

TODO

1. Implement native PTY support using cross-platform Rust libraries
2. Add platform-specific terminal launching
3. Implement file system access for session recordings
4. Add native notifications
5. Implement keyboard shortcuts
6. Add auto-launch on startup
