+# AI Workspace Menu Bar App Design
+
+## Goal
+
+Provide a small native macOS control surface for the AI Workspace Service Manager.
+
+The app should not reimplement service logic. It should call the service manager/daemon API or CLI and display status, actions, and diagnostics.
+
+## Recommended Shape
+
+- SwiftUI `MenuBarExtra` app.
+- Local-only, no cloud dependency.
+- Start at login optional through `LaunchAgent` later.
+- Read-only status by default; explicit user actions for start/stop/restart.
+
+## Initial UI
+
+```text
+AI Workspace ▾
+  Profile: Fidelity
+
+  Services
+    ✓ Context MCP          Running
+    ✓ Mattermost Proxy     Running
+    ✓ Mattermost Desktop   Launched
+    ✓ Photo Inbox          Running
+
+  Actions
+    Start Fidelity
+    Stop Fidelity
+    Restart Context MCP
+    Open Mattermost
+    Open Photo Inbox Folder
+    Copy Photo Inbox Upload URL
+    Open Project Knowledge
+    Open Logs
+
+  Diagnostics
+    Run Doctor
+    Copy Doctor JSON
+    Show Recent Errors
+
+  Settings
+    Start at Login
+    Open Config Folder
+```
+
+## Backend Contract
+
+The first version can shell out to:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/aiw/services.py status --profile fidelity
+python3 scripts/aiw/services.py doctor --profile fidelity --json
+python3 scripts/aiw/services.py start --profile fidelity
+python3 scripts/aiw/services.py stop --profile fidelity
+python3 scripts/aiw/services.py restart aiw-context-mcp --profile fidelity
+```
+
+Longer term, prefer a small local daemon HTTP/Unix-socket API so the UI does not parse terminal text except `doctor --json`.
+
+## Production-Ready Rules
+
+- Do not store secrets in the app bundle.
+- Do not expose services beyond localhost unless explicitly configured.
+- Show whether a process is managed or externally running.
+- Surface missing dependencies from doctor checks.
+- Never let the app promote project memory automatically.
+- Keep capture services and context MCP separate; the app only orchestrates lifecycle.
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+1. CLI-backed SwiftUI menu bar app using `doctor --json` for status.
+2. Add profile selector and service action buttons.
+3. Add LaunchAgent support for start at login.
+4. Replace shell parsing with a daemon API if daily use proves stable.
