Tailscale Client

A modern, WinUI3-based Tailscale client for Windows.

This project was born out of wanting to mess around with WinUI3, and the fact that the Tailscale Windows client looks... not great compared to MacOS. It aims to provide a modern, clean, and feature-rich Tailscale client for Windows while being fully open source, unlike the official one.

Important

Not all features (even somewhat basic ones!) are implemented at this time. This is a work in progress.

Warning

This does not replace the Tailscale daemon. This is just the client UI meant to replace/integrate the Tailscale tray icon app.

Features

  • Account switching
  • Full login flow, supporting custom control servers such as headscale instances
  • QR code logins
  • Netmap view (devices page)
  • Device details and copy (such as IP, domain, etc.)
  • Exit nodes
  • Settings (Run unattended, allow Tailscale DNS, accept subnets)
  • Taildrop
