The dashboard
The dashboard is Lodekit’s control room — a web page at
http://lodekit.localhost:7777 where you see your apps, watch what they’re
doing, and tune how everything behaves. It’s a regular browser tab: open it
from the menubar, bookmark it, keep it pinned.
Across the top you’ll find the Lodekit logo (a click takes you home), a services menu, and the Settings gear. Press ⌘K anywhere to open the command palette and jump straight to any app, service view, or setting by typing its name.
Home shows one card per app: its icon, name, and description. The cards are live — when your agent saves a change, the card shows building…, then flips to ready (or error, with the problem spelled out). If an app still needs credentials, its card shows an “N secrets needed” badge so you know before you open it. With no apps installed yet, Home simply suggests asking your agent to build one.
Data is the explorer for everything your apps have stored. Pick an app and you get an overview — how many rows, keys, and files it holds, small charts of where the space goes, and a feed of what was added recently. From there, browse each store directly: any table (with filtering, multi-column sorting, search, and paging), the key-value entries, and uploaded files with their metadata. Everything is read-only — looking never changes your data — and a refresh button picks up whatever your apps wrote in the meantime. An app’s event stream lives in the Events view below; a per-app storage breakdown is coming soon.
Logs is a live feed of what Lodekit and your apps are reporting — new lines appear as they happen. Filter by severity (debug, info, warning, error) or by app, and expand any row for its full details. When something misbehaves, this is the first place to look — and your agent can read the same records to debug for you. Traffic through your gateways lands here too — every request gets a line, with credentials always masked — and a source filter shows just one provider’s traffic.
Events
Section titled “Events”Events shows the platform’s announcement stream: apps becoming ready, records changing, tasks finishing. Like Logs it follows along live, but it also keeps history, so you can scroll back and filter by app, type, or text to see what happened while you were away.
Secrets
Section titled “Secrets”Secrets is where your credentials live — the API keys and tokens your apps need. You add a secret once, then link it to any app that asks for one. Values are write-only: you can paste a new value, replace it, or delete the secret, but the dashboard never shows a value back — not to you, not to your agent.
Gateways
Section titled “Gateways”Gateways shows the outside providers your apps can reach — one card per provider, with its icon and how many apps use it. Open a gateway to finish an app’s connection: link a secret into each slot the provider needs, fill in any config values, or click Connect for providers that use OAuth sign-in. Each connection wears a status badge — connected, needs setup, needs reauth, unhealthy, or error — and every gateway has its own Logs link, so you can see exactly what’s been asked of that provider.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”Settings collects every knob in one place: General and Appearance for the platform, Services for how storage, tasks, and the rest behave, and one section per app for the knobs its builder declared. Changed values are marked as modified and can be reset to their defaults with one click; the rarely-needed ones sit in a collapsed Advanced group. Each app’s section can also override a service setting just for that app — revert the override and the shared value applies again.
Everything the dashboard shows lives in one folder on your Mac — see Your Lodekit folder for what’s where and how to back it up.
