CLI reference

kiste desktop

Open a running desktop Kiste in the browser.

The link opens the viewer at https://desktop.kiste.run. It works for this one machine only, any number of times, on any browser or device signed in to your account, until it expires. Expiry only stops new browsers joining; streams already open keep running.
