Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@aiderdesk/aiderdesk

Run AiderDesk as a headless backend service accessible through your browser. This package provides a lightweight alternative to the desktop application — similar to running AiderDesk with Docker.

After starting, the AiderDesk web UI is available at http://localhost:24337.

Installation

npm install -g @aiderdesk/aiderdesk

Alternatively, run it directly without installing:

npx @aiderdesk/aiderdesk

The postinstall script automatically downloads the required uv Python package manager and probe binary for your platform.

Usage

Interactive TUI (default)

aiderdesk
# or
aiderdesk tui

Opens an interactive terminal UI where you can start/stop the service, configure the port, and view logs.

Keyboard shortcuts:

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | s | Start / Stop the service | | p | Change port | | q | Exit | | ↑ / ↓ | Scroll logs | | PgUp / PgDn | Scroll logs by half page | | Ctrl+C | Exit |

Headless Foreground

aiderdesk start

Runs the service in the foreground with logs printed to stdout. Useful for Docker containers, systemd services, or CI environments.

Options

-p, --port <port>   Set the port to listen on (default: 24337, env: AIDER_DESK_PORT)
-h, --help          Show help message
-v, --version       Show version number

Port Configuration

You can set the port in three ways (highest priority first):

  1. CLI flag: aiderdesk start --port 8080
  2. Environment variable: AIDER_DESK_PORT=8080
  3. Default: 24337

Accessing the UI

Once running, open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:24337

From there you can use AiderDesk the same way as the desktop application.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or later
  • Python 3.8+ (automatically managed via uv)

Differences from the Desktop App

This package runs only the AiderDesk backend service. It does not include the Electron desktop shell. The experience is identical to running AiderDesk in a browser (e.g., via Docker). Features like system tray integration and native desktop notifications are not available.
