Desktop app

Spirit Panel for Windows

The web panel in a dedicated desktop shell — plus tray monitoring, a global hotkey, an always-on-top HUD, and offline status cache the browser cannot match.

Why use the desktop app?

The website panel already covers console, files, schedules, and backups. The desktop app is for staying connected while you play or work in other windows.

System tray presence — close the window without killing monitoring; jump back in one click.
Live server list in the tray — see which servers are online and open one directly.
Desktop notifications — get alerted when a server goes offline or comes back.
Status HUD — floating always-on-top widget with CPU and state, including cached data if you briefly lose network.
Global hotkey — default Ctrl+Shift+Space shows or hides the panel from any app.
