About

IPFS Desktop gives you all the power of IPFS in a convenient desktop app: a complete IPFS node, plus handy OS menubar/taskbar shortcuts and an all-in-one file manager, peer map, and content explorer. Use IPFS Desktop to get acquainted with IPFS without needing to touch the terminal — or, if you're already experienced, use the powerful menubar/taskbar shortcuts alongside the command line to make your IPFS workflow faster. Features include: - Start your node at system startup and control it from your OS system tray - Quickly import files, folders, and screenshots to IPFS - Easily manage the contents of your node (pin, preview, rename, and share) - Visualize your IPFS peers worldwide on an interactive world map - Explore the "Merkle Forest" of IPFS files and content-addressed data - OS-wide protocol handler support for ipfs:// and ipns:// links
