How do I add a TofuPilot desktop shortcut to a station?
Updated July 7, 2026
In the dashboard, go to Stations, select the station, open Setup, and toggle "Desktop shortcut" on. The CLI writes a launcher to the station's desktop equivalent to running tofupilot run in the station's working directory, launching whichever operator UI the station uses. The file is TofuPilot.desktop on Linux, TofuPilot.command on macOS, and TofuPilot.lnk on Windows. Toggling the setting off deletes the shortcut.
