What CLIProxyAPI Tray does

CLIProxyAPI Tray wraps the CLIProxyAPI binary in a persistent Windows tray icon. It handles version downloads, process lifecycle, and configuration management so you never have to open a terminal for day-to-day use.

Service control

Start, stop, and restart CLIProxyAPI from the tray

Auto update

Keep CLIProxyAPI up to date automatically on tray startup

WebUI access

Open the management panel directly from the tray

Version management

Understand how versions are downloaded and stored

Get started

1

Install CLIProxyAPI Tray

Run the one-line PowerShell installer or clone the repository and run create-shortcut.bat.
2

Launch the tray

Double-click the desktop shortcut. CLIProxyAPI Tray appears in your system tray and automatically starts CLIProxyAPI.
3

Set your password

On first launch, you are prompted to enter a password. This is saved as secret-key in config.yaml and is required to access the management API.
4

Open the WebUI

Double-click the tray icon (or choose Open → WebUI) to open the CLIProxyAPI management panel in your browser.
CLIProxyAPI Tray requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 and PowerShell 5.1 (or PowerShell 7). No other dependencies are needed.
