Follow the desktop workflow from capture and replay through a verified result, a safe halt, teaching, settings, and sign-in. The gallery uses headless synthetic fixtures from Desktop PR #93. It does not show a live engine or customer run. Exact capture provenance is published below.

Synthetic OpenAdapt Desktop workflow library with one halted and one verified workflow, rendered from Desktop PR #93. — The workflow library. Two compiled workflows: one needs attention and one has verified evidence. Open full-size image

Synthetic Desktop run detail with a halted step and the evidence reason for the safe stop. — Halt evidence: this run stopped safely. A run stops safely when identity and postcondition evidence are not sufficient. The evidence remains available for review. Open full-size image

Synthetic Desktop run detail showing a verified six-step workflow and its evidence contract. — A verified run. A clean replay: six of six steps verified with zero model calls. Open full-size image

OpenAdapt Desktop "Teach the fix" surface: the halted type-note step with its verification-failure reason, and options to re-record the step or describe the correct target. — Teach the fix. When a run halts, you correct it in place by re-recording the step or describing the right target. The correction stays local. Open full-size image

Synthetic Desktop settings showing the local and Cloud connection controls. — Settings and policy. Configure the local execution boundary and an optional OpenAdapt Cloud connection. Open full-size image

The tray companion

OpenAdapt in the tray, on macOS, Windows, and Linux

openadapt-tray 0.1.1 is a separate pip install openadapt-tray package that puts an OpenAdapt indicator in the menu bar or system tray. Install it separately when you want quick access alongside CLI-based workflows. The panels below illustrate where the icon appears on each OS; they are not screenshots.
