Computer App

Windows app built with Electron. The home base (bunker) — connect to your phone, view everything, download and file content to your filesystem.


Layout

Top Chrome         — PHONE CONNECTED / PHONE DISCONNECTED indicator, SYNC NOW button, "Synced X ago" timestamp, settings gear
Side Panel (left)  — tag list ([details](computer-tags.md)), system messages ([details](computer-system-messages.md))
Content Area       — tab-switched: Jots, Lists, Locked Lists, Scratchpad
Bottom Nav         — tab bar

Additional overlays: Settings Modal, About Modal, Setup Wizard, SyncReportDialog, SyncLogDialog, SyncConfirmationSection.

Jots tab

Displays jot content in cards — text, drawings (rendered as images), photo galleries, and audio recordings. You can assign a tag and download jot content to your filesystem.

Lists, Locked Lists, Scratchpad tabs

Mirror the phone's tabs. Lists and locked lists support drag-to-reorder via mouse (using dnd-kit). Locked lists are not gated on the computer — the assumption is your computer is already a secured environment. Scratchpad is a text editor.

Setup wizard

On first launch, a 4-step wizard walks you through setup:

  1. Welcome — intro screen
  2. Accent color — pick your theme hue and grayscale
  3. Save folders — configure the tag root path for filing downloads
  4. Network — select network interface, port, and generate a pairing secret with QR code for your phone to scan

System tray

The app minimizes to the Windows system tray. Left-click the tray icon to show the window. Right-click for a context menu (show, quit). The taskbar icon can be toggled.

Auto-update

Checks for updates 3 seconds after launch. Download and install are both user-initiated — nothing happens automatically. Disable the startup check via Help menu. See Auto-Updates for full details.

Settings

Settings modal accessed via the gear icon. Ten sections: Network Sync, Accent Color, Font Size, Categories (×3), Save Folder, Data Backup, Debug Logging, and Sync Confirmation. See Computer Settings for full reference.
