A terminal dashboard for your Tailscale network. Two-pane keyboard-driven TUI: peer list on the left, selected-peer detail on the right. Runs entirely from your local Tailscale socket — no API key, no cloud, no opinions about your network topology.

Peer list

• All nodes on your tailnet, sorted online-first then alphabetically
• Status dots: green (online) · amber (seen < 5 min) · red (offline)
• Exit node and subnet router indicators
• Live node count with filter-aware paginator

Per-peer detail

• Tailscale IP and MagicDNS name
• Connection type: ◈ direct (peer-to-peer) or ◌ relayed (via DERP relay)
• OS, last contact, last WireGuard handshake
• Exit node status with one-key toggle (e)
• Advertised subnet routes
• ACL tags
• Key expiry warning when ≤ 14 days remaining

Latency

• Pings the selected peer every 10 seconds via TSMP
• Sparkline of last 8 results with avg / min / max and trend arrow (↓ improving · ↑ degrading)
• Color-coded: green < 10ms · amber < 50ms · red ≥ 50ms · ✕ for failed

Connect

• enter on a peer opens a centered connection picker modal
• SSH — enter fast-paths directly if credentials are saved for that host; s opens the form to review or edit username and port; suspends the TUI and hands off the terminal cleanly, resuming with a welcome-back message on exit; connection failures surface a dismissable error panel rather than a silent flash
• RDP — opens the platform RDP client (open rdp:// on macOS, xfreerdp/remmina on Linux, mstsc on Windows)
• VNC — opens the platform VNC viewer (open vnc:// on macOS, vncviewer/xdg-open on Linux); credentials handled by the viewer app

SSH server mode

• --serve runs lazytailscale as a Wish SSH server — no client install needed
• ssh yourhost -p 23234 gives any user on your tailnet the full interactive dashboard
• Each connection gets its own isolated session; the dashboard talks to the local tailscaled socket
• --port and --host flags control the bind address (defaults: 0.0.0.0:23234)

Connection control

• Connect and disconnect Tailscale from within the TUI (u)
• Status bar reflects current node state: NODE NOMINAL · NODE UNREACHABLE · DISCONNECTED

Notifications

• Status bar briefly notes when a peer connects or disconnects between polls
• Exit node flash: ⬡ pulses in the status bar when an exit node is activated or deactivated
• Refresh heartbeat: ◦ appears in the status bar after each successful peer fetch

Filter

• / activates the peer list filter; matches against hostname, Tailscale IP, OS, and MagicDNS name
• Scroll indicators (▲ / ▼) appear when the list is taller than the viewport

Theming

• Built-in Charm Native palette (hot pink · mint · soft purple)
• Automatically adopts your Omarchy theme when detected — reads ~/.config/omarchy/themes/current/colors.toml, no configuration required
• AdaptiveColor throughout for correct rendering in both light and dark terminals

Demo mode

• --demo runs with a fictional tailnet — no Tailscale installation required
• Useful for screenshots, testing, or trying it out before committing
