Desktop app
Native macOS app for local-first BullMQ queue inspection — same UI as the embedded dashboard.

Requires macOS 11+. The app is Apple-signed with auto-updates from signed releases.
When to use the desktop app vs embedded dashboard
| Use case | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Local development on your machine | Desktop app |
| Production ops on shared Redis | Embedded mount or standalone Docker |
| CI / staging environments | Embedded mount at /jobs behind auth |
| AI-assisted debugging | Embedded mount + MCP server |
The desktop app and embedded dashboard share the same React UI — features like flows, schedulers, metrics, and alerts work identically.
