Auto-Shutdown 【⏻】

Auto-Shutdown is a sleek, modern Tauri application built with React and Typescript. It provides powerful and flexible system shutdown scheduling options in a lightweight, cross-platform package. Get precise control over when your computer powers down, restarts, or sleeps, all from an intuitive interface.

Core Features ⚡

• Native Power: Leverages low level system commands via Rust direct, reliable system shutdown.
• Modern UI: Built with React, React Router, and TailwindCSS for a responsive, smooth, and visually appealing single-page application experience.
• Persistent Settings: Uses Tauri's store plugin to remember your preferences and schedules across sessions.
• Multiple Modes: Choose from various shutdown triggers: timed countdown, specific schedule, or after a period of system idle time.
• Background Efficiency: Runs discreetly in the background using minimal system resources.
• Instant Access: Toggle the application window instantly with a global hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + \)
• Compact Size: Remarkably small application footprint (approx. 9MB).

Screenshots 🖼️

Main Window: Clean, minimal interface designed for quick access to shutdown controls.

Settings Window: Customize application behavior, like autostart and notifications.

Modes Window: Select and configure your preferred shutdown trigger (Timer, Schedule, Idle).

Shutdown Warning: A clear 60-second countdown prompt before shutdown, giving you a chance to cancel.

✨ In-Depth Look at Features

Auto-Shutdown is designed to be powerful yet unobtrusive. Here's a closer look at what makes it stand out:

• Global Hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + \): Instantly show or hide the application window from anywhere in your OS, whether it's focused or running in the background.
• Multiple Shutdown Modes:
  • ⏱️ Timer Mode: Set a specific duration (e.g., "shut down in 1 hour 30 minutes").
  • 🗓️ Schedule Mode: Plan shutdowns for specific dates and times (e.g., "shut down every Friday at 11 PM").
  • 💤 Idle Mode: Automatically trigger a shutdown after the system has been inactive for a defined period.
• System Autostart: Configure the app to launch automatically when you log into your computer, ensuring your schedules are always active.
• Background Operation: Runs efficiently in the system tray or background, consuming negligible CPU and RAM when idle. Perfect for "set it and forget it" usage.
• Lightweight & Compact: With an installation size of around 9MB, it won't clutter your system or drain resources.
• Modern Audio Cues: Utilizes subtle, useful sound notifications for key events (like the shutdown warning) without being annoying.
• Adjustable View Scale: While respecting system scaling, the UI elements are designed to be clear and readable. (Future enhancement: potentially add explicit in-app zoom).
• Graceful Shutdown Prompt: The 60-second warning dialog (see screenshot above) ensures you're not caught off-guard and provides an easy way to cancel the pending action.

Setup and Development 🛠️

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Node.js, npm/yarn/pnpm, and the Rust development environment with Tauri prerequisites installed. Tauri Setup Guide.

2. Install Dependencies: Navigate to the project root and run:

   npm install
   # or yarn install / pnpm install

3. Start Development Server: To run the app in development mode with hot-reloading for the frontend:

   npm run dev

   This command starts both the Vite frontend server and the Tauri backend.

4. Build for Production: To create optimized, distributable application bundles:

   npm run build

   The output will be located in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

5. Tauri Commands: To interact directly with the Tauri CLI (e.g., for plugin management or specific build tasks):

   npm run tauri -- [tauri command]
   # Example: npm run tauri plugin add store

Recommended IDE Setup 💻

• VS Code
• Tauri for VS Code - Official Tauri extension.
• rust-analyzer - Essential for Rust development.
