- All features available - Complete feature parity
- Settings preserved - Synced from server
- No learning curve - Same interface as web app
For Administrators
- No server changes required - Desktop app uses existing API
- Same authentication - JWT tokens work identically
- Rate limiting applies - Desktop app respects rate limits
- No special configuration - Works with existing setup
- HTTPS recommended - As with web app
Upgrade Instructions
