Beyond agent-generated widgets, the shell includes real desktop applications. These are hand-built apps that you can open directly — and that the agent can drive on your behalf.

​
App Launcher

A Spotlight-style launcher that scans the actual applications installed on your machine and launches them:
  • macOS — discovers .app bundles and their .icns icons
  • Windows — enumerates installed apps (with inferred categories)
  • Linux — reads .desktop entries
Type to filter, hit enter to launch. The built-in Settings app is always present in the list. Because it shells out to the OS, “open Spotify” or “launch Photoshop” work for any app you have installed.

​
Terminal

A real terminal emulator integration:
  • Spawns a genuine PTY running your login shell ($SHELL, or cmd.exe on Windows)
  • 10,000-line scrollback
  • Full interactive programs work (vim, htop, REPLs)
The agent can also run commands here via the computer-control loop (RUN_TERMINAL_COMMAND).

​
File Explorer (Project Lens)

A full file browser with sidebar places — Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos (only those that exist are shown):
  • Back/forward navigation with history
  • File operations (create, move, rename, delete)
  • Content preview
  • Agent-driven navigation (“Ghost Driver”): the agent can open the explorer at a path and highlight files via the file_manager plugin’s SHOW_FILES tool — so “show me the invoices folder” opens it visually.

​
Control Center

A macOS-style quick-settings panel wired to the system plugins: So the panel and the corresponding chat commands operate the same underlying tools.

​
Settings

The Settings app configures the system without editing files:
  • LLM provider / model / API key — change the brain on the fly (saved via /api/settings; LLM fields are live, no restart needed)
  • Theme — dark / light / glassmorphic
  • Wallpaper and other appearance options

​
Power Menu

A session/power control surface for lock, logout, reboot, and shutdown — the UI counterpart to the power_manager plugin.

​
Other dashboards

MeghaOS also includes richer dashboards, each with its own detailed guide:
Anything these apps do, the assistant can usually trigger by request — “open the terminal”, “show my Downloads folder”, “turn on Bluetooth”, “switch to the glassmorphic theme”.
