It connects directly to Meshtastic nodes via Bluetooth or WiFi and provides real-time mapping of nodes, signal reports (SNR/RSSI), traceroutes, and messaging capabilities. The application runs on Windows, Linux (x64, arm64, armv7l), and macOS (Apple Silicon), with a headless mode for server deployment using AppImage and xvfb. Key features include automatic traceroute requests, channel utilization display, dark mode, MQTT filtering, remote web access with access keys, and optional global map sharing.
