How to use the
App Player

Stop sending `.py` files to your boss. Turn any script into a clickable, visual dashboard in 3 simple steps.

1

Prepare Your Canvas

Instead of `print()`, use the Rig's visual nodes. Drag a "Graph Node" or "Table Node" onto your canvas and connect it to your Python script's output.

PYTHON_SCRIPT
UI_TABLE

The 'UI' nodes act as the frontend for your code.

2

configure_layout.json

Click the "App Settings" gear icon. Here you can define the window title, default theme (Dark/Light), and which inputs are user-editable.

"app_config": {
  "title": "Sales Dashboard Q3",
  "allow_user_input": true,
  "theme": "CYBER_DARK"
}
3

Launch "Headless Mode"

Hit the "Compile to App" button. The Rig strips away the node editor and leaves only your UI elements, packaging it into a standalone `.exe` or dashboard view.
