ignite

A local startup-time dashboard for autostart apps and boot diagnostics.

ignite is a single-binary app for inspecting the things that launch at boot — the Windows Run / RunOnce registry keys, the Startup folders, the scheduled tasks, the systemd user services on Linux. It also ships a doctor command for verifying the log paths, registry access, and config file integrity of the local76 ecosystem.

ignite is part of the local76 ecosystem and depends on library for its widgets and design system.

Features

• Autostart inventory. Lists every program configured to launch at boot, with its source (registry Run key, Startup folder, scheduled task, cron, systemd, etc.), its file size, and its last-modified timestamp.
• Disable / enable. Toggle a single entry off and back on. Changes are reversible: ignite restore puts the registry to its previous state.
• ignite doctor. Audits the local76 ecosystem: verifies %APPDATA%\local76\app\<app>\config.yaml is writable, that the winget SQLite is present, that the screensaver registry is in a known state, that the trance registry is current.
• ignite backup. Snapshots the current autostart state to %APPDATA%\local76\app\ignite\backups\<timestamp>.yaml for diff-and-restore.
• Hot-loop caching. Static registry keys are cached in memory; only the modified-time check hits the disk.

Configuration

A YAML config file is auto-generated on first run:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\local76\app\ignite\config.yaml
• Linux: ~/.config/local76/app/ignite/config.yaml

Backups are stored at %APPDATA%\local76\app\ignite\backups\ (Windows) or ~/.local/share/local76/app/ignite/backups/ (Linux).
