Local project dashboard and command-line tool

See which projects need your attention.

When your work spans several repositories, LocalHelm brings uncommitted work, releases, and dependency updates onto one board. Review a proposed action, then confirm it on the computer hosting your projects.

Install LocalHelmSee the operator board

The operator board runs locally. The phone Deck is read-only. Dev-server controls require LocalSlip.

See what needs attention, then inspect the plan before confirming a write.

The controls depend on where you open it:

• Operator board, http://127.0.0.1:4321 on the machine that runs localhelm serve: every read and every write.
• Deck, /deck from a phone or any other device on your LAN or Tailscale: read-only. It shows one tile per running app that has a LocalSlip claim and listens beyond 127.0.0.1. Tap a tile to open that app. Long-press to copy its link. No commit, publish, start, or stop.

LocalHelm refuses write requests unless they come from loopback, so a phone cannot run them even with the right URL.

Run the operator board

Install, stand in the folder that contains your repos, then run:

localhelm serve

On the board, click Add projects, scan the folder, tick the repos you keep, and confirm. Nothing enrolls on its own.

The CLI runs the same actions. scan, status, and deps only read. Other commands print a plan, and --apply writes. publish, push, ship, and global need named ids. Never --force.

Start and stop need LocalSlip. The Sites tab needs a FilePress site. Both are optional; without them those tabs stay empty.

LocalSlip is the slip. LocalHelm is the wheel.
