• Live system stats: See real-time CPU, memory, and disk usage at a glance.
• Script management: Use your existing scripts or write new ones directly in the dashboard.
• Live log viewer: Watch script output in real time.
• Persistent storage: Scripts and logs are saved in dedicated folders for easy access.

⚡ Quick Start

👀 Dashboard Overview

🚀 Launch your scripts as tmux sessions

When you start desto, it creates desto_scripts/ and desto_logs/ folders in your current directory. Want to use your own locations? Just change these in the settings, or set the DESTO_SCRIPTS_DIR and DESTO_LOGS_DIR environment variables.

Your scripts show up automatically—no setup needed. Ready to launch? Just:

1. Name your tmux session
2. Select one of your scripts
3. (OPTIONAL) edit and save your changes
4. Click "Launch"! 🎬

🟢 Keep Alive: Want your session to stay open after your script finishes? Just toggle the switch. This adds tail -f /dev/null at the end, so you can keep the session active and continue viewing logs, even after your script completes.

✍️ Write new scripts and save them

If you want to compose a new script, you can do it right here, or simply just paste the output of your favorite LLM :)
