It gives you full control over what the model sees, while respecting your privacy and workflow.\n\n![GPTree GUI Demo](./demo.gif)\n\n---\n\n## ⚡ Why Use GPTree?\n\nOther tools (like Cursor or cloud-based repo summarizers) either:\n\n- Automatically include irrelevant files\n- Require installing a new IDE or extension\n- Send your code to the cloud without control\n\n**GPTree GUI is different**:\n\n- 🧩 Pick only what you want the model to see\n- 🧠 Use _your own_ LLM (OpenAI, Claude, LM Studio, etc.)\n- 🖥️ Works offline and respects `.gitignore`\n- ⚡ Outputs ready-to-paste markdown + source in seconds\n\n\u003e “It’s not an AI copilot — it’s the pre-flight checklist before the prompt.”\n\n---\n\n## ✅ Features\n\n- **Visual File/Folder Tree** – Easily browse and toggle file selection\n- **Output Panel** – Preview the file tree + selected code content in one scrollable blob\n- **Clipboard Export** – Copy or save the LLM-ready output in one click\n- **Smart Ignoring** – Automatically skips `.gitignore`d files and large binaries\n- **Config Manager** – Toggle and edit global/project-specific configs in the UI\n- **Dark/Light Mode** – Adapts to system or manual preference\n- **Blazing Fast + Lightweight** – Uses ~100MB RAM total\n\n---\n\n## 🧪 Installation\n\n### 🍎 macOS\n\n- [Download GPTree for macOS (.dmg) - Universal](https://github.com/travisvn/gptree-gui/releases/latest/download/GPTree-mac-universal.dmg)\n\n### 🐧 Linux\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/travisvn/gptree-gui/main/scripts/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n### 🪟 Windows\n\n- [Download GPTree for Windows (.exe)](https://github.com/travisvn/gptree-gui/releases/latest/download/GPTree-windows.exe)\n- [Download GPTree for Windows (.msi)](https://github.com/travisvn/gptree-gui/releases/latest/download/GPTree-windows.msi)\n\n---\n\n## 🧭 How To Use\n\n1. Launch the app, select your project folder\n2. Use checkboxes to select files or folders\n3. Adjust config options in the right-hand panel (file types, exclusions, etc.)\n4. Click “Generate Output” → preview shows combined tree + contents\n5. Copy to clipboard or open the file to paste into your LLM\n\n---\n\n## 🔧 Configuration\n\nGPTree GUI uses the same config system as the [gptree CLI](https://github.com/travisvn/gptree):\n\n- Global config: `~/.gptreerc`\n- Local config: `.gptree_config` in the current repo\n\n---\n\n## ⚙️ Tech Stack\n\n- Tauri (Rust backend, system Webview)\n- React + TypeScript + Tailwind (frontend)\n- Jotai (state management)\n- Vite (build tooling)\n\n---\n\n## 🆚 Performance Snapshot\n\n| Metric          | GPTree GUI | Typical Electron App |\n| --------------- | ---------- | -------------------- |\n| RAM Usage       | \\~100 MB   | 300–600+ MB          |\n| Backend         | Rust       | Node.js              |\n| Cold Start Time | Fast       | Slower               |\n| Bundle Size     | \\~3–10 MB  | 100MB+               |\n\n\u003e GPTree GUI is 5× leaner than most dev GUI tools.\n\n---\n\n🖼️ **Demo Screenshot**  \n![GPTree GUI Screenshot](https://gptree.dev/screenshot-dark.png)\n\n## 💬 Feedback Welcome\n\nIf this is useful to you, please star the repo ⭐ or file an issue if you have feature requests or bugs.\n\nBuilt by [@travisvn](https://github.com/travisvn), based on the original [gptree CLI](https://github.com/travisvn/gptree).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftravisvn%2Fgptree-gui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftravisvn%2Fgptree-gui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftravisvn%2Fgptree-gui/lists"}
