Trayscale is an unofficial GUI interface for the Tailscale daemon particularly for use on Linux, as no official Linux GUI client exists. It provides a basic system tray icon and a fairly comprehensive UI with support for many of Tailscale's features.

Trayscale interfaces with the Tailscale daemon, <code>tailscaled</code>, to perform many of its operations. In order for this to work, the daemon must have been configured with the current user as the "operator". To do this, run <code>sudo tailscale set --operator=$USER</code> from the command-line at least once manually.
