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 áige jadapordiga.

TCP/IP

For network-connected radios:

1. Sisesta raadio IP-aadress ja port (vaikimisi: 4403).
2. Klápsa 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 lΓ€hedalasuvaid Meshtastic raadioid.
3. Select your device from the Connect screen.

†App Functions exposes app actions to the Android system AI on Google flavor builds. See App Functions.

UI Differences

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

Keyboard Shortcuts

All shortcuts use the Meta key β€” that's ⌘ (Command) on macOS and the Super / Windows key on Linux and Windows. (T383838Ctrl is not bound.)

Window & System Tray

β€’ Window resizing β€” responsive layout adapts to window dimensions
β€’ System tray β€” minimize to system tray for background mesh operation
β€’ SalvemenΓΌΓΌ – paremklΓ΅psa salveikoonil akna kuvamiseks vΓ΅i sulgemiseks
β€’ Hiire interaktsioon β€” hΓ΅ljumisseisundid ja standardne tΓΆΓΆlaua navigeerimine

Notification Preferences

The Desktop app provides in-app toggles for controlling which notifications are shown β€” messages, new nodes, and low battery alerts. Access these from Settings β†’ 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:

./gradlew :desktopApp:run


Requirements:

β€’ JDK 21

Known Limitations

β€’ Firmware updates over the air (BLE/Wi-Fi) are Android-only; on desktop, use the in-app USB update or the Web Flasher
β€’ The interactive map view is Android-only β€” the Map tab is present but does not render a map on desktop
β€’ Some Android-specific features (widgets, specific notification channels) are unavailable
β€’ Performance may vary on low-spec hardware running Compose Desktop
β€’ Lauaarvutid ei toeta veel BLE liitmist (sidumine toimib ilma ΓΌhendamiseta)
