Desktop App

Meshtastic arvuti rakendus jagab oma põhikoodibaasi Androidiga Kotlin Multiplatformi kaudu. Most features work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Installation

Linux

• Download the .deb or .AppImage package from the releases page
• Or build from source using ./gradlew :desktopApp:run

macOS

• Download the .dmg package from releases
• Or build from source

Windows

• Download the .msi installer from releases
• Or build from source

Connecting Your Radio

USB port (esmane)

The most reliable connection method on Desktop:

1. Ühenda oma Meshtastic raadio USB kaabliga.
2. Rakendus peaks jadapordi automaatselt tuvastama.
3. Kui seda ei tuvastata, vali menüüst Ühenda õige jadapordiga.

TCP/IP

For network-connected radios:

1. Sisesta raadio IP-aadress ja port (vaikimisi: 4403).
2. Klõpsa Ühenda.

Sinihammas (BLE)

Bluetooth Low Energy is supported on Desktop via the Kable library:

1. Ensure your system has a Bluetooth adapter.
2. Rakendus otsib automaatselt lähedalasuvaid Meshtastic raadioid.
3. Select your device from the Connect screen.

UI Differences

The Desktop app uses the same Compose Multiplatform UI with adaptations for larger screens and desktop interaction.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut	Action
⌘Q / Ctrl+Q	Quit the application
⌘, / Ctrl+,	Ava sätted
⌘1 / Ctrl+1	Switch to Messages tab
⌘2 / Ctrl+2	Switch to Nodes tab
⌘3 / Ctrl+3	Switch to Map tab
⌘4 / Ctrl+4	Switch to Connect tab

Window & System Tray

• Window resizing — responsive layout adapts to window dimensions
• System tray — minimize to system tray for background mesh operation
• Salvemenüü – paremklõpsa salveikoonil akna kuvamiseks või sulgemiseks
• Hiire interaktsioon — hõljumisseisundid ja standardne töölaua navigeerimine

Notification Preferences

The Desktop app provides in-app toggles for controlling which notifications are shown — messages, new nodes, and low battery alerts. Access these from Settings → Notifications within the app.

Built-in Documentation Browser

The Desktop app includes a built-in documentation browser for quick access to help content without leaving the application.

The browser supports full-text search across all documentation:

Individual doc pages render with full formatting:

Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android.git
cd Meshtastic-Android
git submodule update --init
./gradlew :desktopApp:run

Requirements:

• JDK 21
• No Android SDK required for desktop-only builds

Known Limitations

• OTA püsivara värskendusi pole (kasuta veebivärskendajat)
• Some Android-specific features (widgets, specific notification channels) are unavailable
• Performance may vary on low-spec hardware running Compose Desktop
• Lauaarvutid ei toeta veel BLE liitmist (sidumine toimib ilma ühendamiseta)
