```## Components
Spacebar is split into two components: **spacebar** (front-end), and **spacebar-daemon** (backend-daemon).### spacebar-daemon
The background daemon, which is configured to autostart, has the following responsibilities:
* Handles the sending and receiving of messages.
* Saves messages to the database.
* Creates notifications when a new message arrives.`spacebar-daemon` exposes its API in D-Bus under the service name `org.kde.spacebar.Daemon`. Front-end applications like `spacebar` depend on it for messaging functionality. It manages incoming messages and notifications in the background without needing a front-end app running.
### spacebar
A front-end app for spacebar-daemon written in Kirigami.Run with these environment variables to have mobile controls:
```
QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_MOBILE=true spacebar
```
