FreenetTray is a lightweight menu bar utility designed to manage the Freenet client on macOS.

This tool acts as a convenient wrapper, making it easier to interact with the anonymous peer-to-peer network for secure communication and publishing.

Key Features:

Menu bar integration for easy access and control
Visual indicators for Freenet node status
Simplified start, stop, and restart commands

Use Cases:

Managing a local Freenet node for anonymous browsing and file sharing
Running Freenet in the background while keeping the desktop clean

Alternatives:

Freenet CLI – The official command-line interface offers more control but lacks a graphical user interface.
