The sidebar - eight destinations.

01Dashboard. This week's commands, response time, favorites, tips. Live counters that update when a command finishes.
02Monitoring. Ollama + input listener + local DB in real time. Start, stop, restart, and review alerts.
03Models. Browse, download, remove Ollama models. Progress bars, speeds, VRAM usage.
04Commands. Toggle built-in prompts, create your own 3-letter shortcuts, reorder favorites.
05History. Every AI interaction with timestamp, runtime, status, model. Filter, sort, copy.
06Logs. Raw event stream from the Tauri backend. Use for tracking permission or service issues.
07Settings. Shortcuts, activation, mouse, screenshot, retention, license - one place.
08Help. Quick references, onboarding tips, doc links. Open this tour again from here.

The header - instant awareness.

Start all services

One click spins up Ollama + listener. Loading pulse until ready.

Stop everything safely

Confirmation dialog before stopping. Use before shutdown or hardware swap.

Download tray

Live progress, speed, ETA. Cancel from the header.

Theme toggle

Light or dark. Choice persists across launches.

Shortcut reminder

Activation combo always visible - never forget how to summon Typilot.

Onboarding cards

Context-aware tips. Link to Monitoring or Settings when a service needs attention.

Workspace conventions.

Smart onboarding. First launch runs a guided sequence that checks Ollama, permissions, and your first model. Revisit anytime from Help.
Responsive layout. On laptops the sidebar collapses to a fly-out menu. The header condenses.
Persistent state. Filters, sorting, and page size survive restarts.
Keyboard-first. Ctrl/Cmd + [1–8] jumps between sections. Esc closes dialogs. Arrows navigate history detail.

First-run checklist.

Check system health. Open Monitoring. Both tiles should be Online. Start anything offline.
Download a recommended model. Models → llama3.2:3b → Download. Watch the tray.
Skim the four commands. Commands → toggle examples on to see ready-made prompts.
Run your first request. Activation shortcut → gen: write a welcome email → period.
Review what happened. History shows the request, model, runtime, response. Logs for low-level detail.
