Runtime options

• Local Runtime is embedded in the desktop app and keeps Runtime-owned workspaces and credentials on this computer.
• Remote Runtime connects the app to an authorized Mqttable Server. It is a Pro feature that requires a current online entitlement; its URL is not an MQTT Broker address.
• Next launch profile changes the Runtime used after restart. It does not move the current session or copy data between Runtimes.

Desktop-only controls

Mqttable can check for updates in the background, while installation remains manual. This tab also manages the menu bar icon, start at login, and the global show/hide shortcut; these preferences always belong to the local computer.

With Local Runtime, the menu bar / tray panel shows active connections, reconnecting clients, and running proxies with their connected-client counts. A registered client that reports a disconnect remains visible; idle configurations and explicitly stopped clients do not fill the list. Select an entry to open it in the main window.

Status refreshes while the panel is open. If fresh status is unavailable, the panel says so rather than continuing to show an online timer as current. The panel follows the system light or dark appearance, supports keyboard navigation, and closes with Esc.

Quit sits at the far right of the top row, beside Show Mqttable. Selecting it starts normal shutdown directly, without a confirmation dialog; this stops the local Runtime and its work.
