Windows / macOS client¶
The same UI that runs on the ESP32 boards is also available as a desktop app: full Klipper/Moonraker control plus Bambu Cloud monitoring, driven by mouse and keyboard. It doubles as the development vehicle — all UI work is debugged on the desktop build first.
Packages: desktop-win-x86_64.zip / desktop-macos-arm64.zip
Quick start¶
- Download and extract the zip for your platform.
- Run
KlipperScreen-esp(KlipperScreen-esp.exeon Windows). Do not runklipper_remote_simulator— that separately named binary is a layout-development simulator feeding mock data (fake file list, no thumbnails, no real Moonraker connection). - Settings → Printer Connection: pick a slot, choose Klipper (host IP + port, default 7125) or Bambu mode.
On Windows the configuration is stored in %APPDATA%\KlipperRemote\moonraker.conf.
Notes¶
- Keyboard navigation mirrors the physical boards: arrows move the focus, Enter confirms, Esc goes back. In text inputs the arrows + Enter type on the on-screen keyboard, and F1 submits the form.
- Display rotation 0/90/180/270° is available under Settings → Display (software rotation; a restart of the app applies it).
- macOS: the binaries are ad-hoc signed. If Gatekeeper refuses to open them, run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantineon the extracted folder, or allow the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security. - Building from source (including the mock-data simulator): see Building from source.
