Jupytray

Run the Jupyter notebook server as a little app in the system tray.

That way you don't have to keep a separate command window open just for the server.

This app is made for Windows.

(It should be portable to Mac/Linux, as the GUI uses the cross-platform 'Qt' framework. Pull requests for such a port are welcome).

Installation

Make sure PyQt5 is installed:

conda install pyqt

Then run:

pip install jupytray

This will get you the

Finally, run

jupytray install

This will add a shortcut to run Jupytray to the Windows Start menu.

It will also add this shortcut to the Windows Startup folder, which means that Jupytray will auto-run after system restarts. (This can be disabled in the Jupytray options window).

To remove these shortcuts, you can later run jupytray uninstall (and then pip uninstall jupytray, to remove the Python package as well).

Usage

Open the Windows Start menu, type Jupytray, and hit enter.

This should start the tray app and the Jupyter notebook server.
