Built-in Apps

Beyond agent-generated widgets, the shell includes real desktop applications. These are hand-built Flutter 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 built on xterm + flutter_pty:

• 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:

Control	Backed by
Wi-Fi toggle + network list	network_manager
Bluetooth toggle + device list	bluetooth_manager
Volume slider	audio_manager
Brightness slider	display_manager

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:

Dashboard	Purpose
Chat Dashboard	The main chat + canvas experience
Agents Dashboard	See and manage capabilities, agents, and workflows
Using Settings	Configure the AI engine, sound, displays, network, theme
Workflow Builder	Build multi-step workflows by hand
Analyst Dashboard	Load data, chart it, run financial models
Crew War Room	Watch a team of agents collaborate live
