CLIProxyAPI Tray is a community-built Windows system tray application that wraps the CLIProxyAPI proxy service in a persistent taskbar icon. It handles process lifecycle, version downloads, password setup, and WebUI access — all without opening a terminal. It runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 and requires PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7. This is a community project and is not part of the official CLIProxyAPI core repository.

Key features

Single-instance tray

A global mutex ensures only one tray process runs at a time, preventing conflicts and duplicate icons.

Service control

Start, stop, and restart CLIProxyAPI directly from the tray menu — no terminal required.

Auto update

When enabled, the tray checks for a newer CLIProxyAPI release on startup and installs it automatically.

WebUI access

Open the CLIProxyAPI management panel in your browser from the tray menu or by double-clicking the icon.

Version isolation

Each downloaded CLIProxyAPI release is stored in its own subdirectory under versions/, so rollbacks are straightforward.

No third-party dependencies

The tray is pure PowerShell and VBScript. It uses only Windows built-ins — no Node.js, no Python, no extra runtimes.
