catnet-io/app

CatNet App is the graphical frontend of the CatNet ecosystem — a cross-platform desktop application (Wails + React) for network discovery and scan workflows, built for users who want a more accessible visual experience without losing speed and technical depth.

Position in the ecosystem

app is the GUI layer. All scan logic lives in catnet-io/engine; this repository is a thin consumer of the engine's event API, exactly like the CLI and the TUI.

Goals

• Provide a friendly cross-platform desktop experience (mobile planned).
• Reuse shared engine contracts.
• Keep UI concerns separate from scan domain logic.
• Evolve as the visual frontend of the ecosystem.

Status

Transition phase. This repository is being repositioned from a standalone scanner app to the GUI frontend of a multi-repository architecture.

Development & Security (DevSecOps)

• Branching Policy: develop is the main collaboration branch; main only accepts signed, automated PRs from develop created by github-actions[bot].
• CI/CD: Workflows validate builds, dependencies, and SAST on both main and develop branches.
• Vulnerabilities: see SECURITY.md — do not open public issues.
