In the spirit of inclusiveness to non-technical folks who are flummoxed by CLIs but also have a religious objection to running closed software on their closed source OS, I'd recommend that they ask a more technically-inclined friend to set up the open source Tailscale client software with Cattail if they're on Windows, or an Automation that drives the CLI if they're on macOS. |

Gatekeeping much?

I’m just asking if Tailscale has an open source application. Users who know what a GUI is and why it’s also important that it is open source will care that the GUI isn’t open source. The ones who don’t, won’t. Who benefits from obscurantist-posting like you are doing? Probably not the folks who don’t know that Tailscale doesn’t have an open source app, because the GUI is part and parcel to what the app even is conceptually to the sorts of users who don’t know what GUIs are.
