- Linux: Tauri packs a window's webviews into one GTK box with equal shares and ignores their bounds, so the title bar took half the window. The title bar webview now has a fixed height and no share; the box's border is the resize frame (none when maximized). - tauri-plugin-updater: checks llembas.eu/desktop/latest.json at start and every 6 h, an update button in the title bar and menu entries, .deb via pkexec, AppImage in place, then restart. Packages signed with the updater's minisign key; requireSignedVersion on. scripts/publish-update.sh signs a GitHub release and writes the manifest.

LLeMbas Desktop
Your LLeMbas server in a window of its own, with the agent on this computer.
- The whole web UI: chats, agent chats, the library, reports, settings. Same account, models, permissions and credits as in the browser; the app is a front end to the server you already run.
- The agent, built in. LLeMbas Desktop carries the LLeMbas CLI and runs it in the background as this computer's device, so agent chats started on the server can work in your projects here, without a terminal.
- Its own window: a LLeMbas title bar with the agent's state and a menu (start and stop the agent, link the computer, reload, change server, quit). Close the window and the agent keeps running in the tray, which has the same menu.
Alpha. Linux first (
.deband AppImage, x86-64). Windows and macOS later.
Install
Download the .deb or the AppImage from the
latest release. Check it against
SHA256SUMS in the same release.
sudo apt install ./llembas-desktop_*_amd64.deb # Debian, Ubuntu (replaces 0.1.0's l-le-mbas)
chmod +x llembas-desktop_*.AppImage && ./llembas-desktop_*.AppImage
On GNOME the tray needs the AppIndicator extension; without it, the title bar's menu has everything, and starting the app again brings a hidden window back.
Updates
LLeMbas Desktop looks for a new release when it starts and every six hours. When there is one, an
update button appears in the title bar (and Install LLeMbas x.y.z… in its menu; Check for
updates… otherwise). Installing asks for your password to update the .deb (an AppImage updates
itself), then the app starts again. Every package is checked against the release signing key
built into the app before anything is installed.
Use
- Start LLeMbas and enter your server's address. Sign in there as you would in a browser.
- From the tray, Link this computer. The approval page opens in the window; approve it.
- The agent starts. In the server's new-chat screen, choose this computer for an agent chat.
The agent is the LLeMbas CLI's lembas service, using the CLI's own configuration
(~/.config/lembas). The app's copy of the CLI lives in its own directory
(/usr/lib/llembas-desktop/), not on your PATH. If you also installed the CLI and run lembas service yourself, the app sees
it and does not start a second one: they are the same device.
Build
Needs Rust (stable) and, on Linux, WebKitGTK 4.1 and an AppIndicator library:
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev libxdo-dev
scripts/fetch-cli.sh # the bundled CLI, checked against its release signature
cargo install tauri-cli --version "^2" --locked
cargo tauri dev # or: cargo tauri build
There is no Node and no bundler: the app's one local page is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript in
ui/. Everything else on screen is the server's own web UI. The version of the CLI it carries is
in lembas-cli.version.
