Helios
A personal desktop dashboard built with Tauri 2 and React. 28+ plugin widgets, Kanban project management, network topology graph, and system monitoring.
The problem & the goals
Helios is a self-hosted desktop dashboard built on Tauri 2 (Rust backend) and React 19. It features a drag-and-drop widget grid, a 28-plugin ecosystem covering system stats, Docker monitoring, RSS feeds, notes, finance, and more. It also includes a full Kanban project management system, an interactive network topology graph, and a remote agent for monitoring headless servers.
