# Vynte Connect
Vynte Connect is the branded client wrapper for the Vynte NetBird VPN at `https://vpn.vyntehome.com`.
This source tree contains:
- `apps/vynte-connect`: macOS 14 SwiftUI menu bar app.
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows`: Windows Electron tray app.
- `docs/vynte-connect-design-spec.md`: product and UI behavior notes.
- `scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs`: fetches the official NetBird runtime assets needed for packaging.
The apps do not implement VPN networking themselves. They bundle and drive the official NetBird CLI, install/start the local NetBird helper service when needed, then poll `netbird status --json` until the tunnel is ready.
## Prepare NetBird Assets
Downloaded binaries are intentionally ignored by git. Fetch them before packaging:
```bash
node scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs
```
To pin a version:
```bash
NETBIRD_VERSION=v0.71.4 node scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs
```
## macOS
```bash
cd apps/vynte-connect
swift build -c release
./Scripts/package-zip.sh
```
Output:
- `apps/vynte-connect/dist/Vynte Connect.app`
- `apps/vynte-connect/dist/Vynte-Connect-macOS.zip`
## Windows
```bash
cd apps/vynte-connect-windows
npm install
npm run package:win
```
Output:
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows/dist/Vynte Connect-win32-x64/`
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows/dist/Vynte-Connect-Windows-x64.zip`
The Windows package is a portable x64 app bundle. It is not code-signed and does not stamp Windows executable metadata, so it can be built from macOS without Wine.
