Alist Helper is an application developed using Flutter, designed to simplify the use of the desktop version of alist. It can manage alist, allowing you to easily start and stop the alist program.

Maintainer needed for the macOS part of the code. No new macOS-related changes or updates will be accepted until volunteers.

Alist Helper includes several useful features:

• Automatic launching of alist
• Minimizing to the system tray
• Automatic startup on boot, with the option for silent startup
• Quick access to alist version and administrator information
• Adjustable alist startup parameters. You can customize the startup parameters to meet your specific needs and preferences.

Free. No tracking. No ads.

Currently, this app is available on Windows and macOS. Adaptation plans for more platforms are in progress.

Please note that this program does not include the binary files for alist. You will need to download them manually.
