First public pre-release of SysopTV: free firmware for the GeekMagic SmallTV Ultra that shows your Claude usage limits (5 hour session and weekly) on your desk, plus a Windows app that feeds it.

**This is a pre-release.** It runs daily on my own cube, but some parts are not tested yet (see below).

## Downloads

| File | What it is |

|---|---|

| sysoptv-0.4.1.bin | Firmware for the GeekMagic SmallTV Ultra |

| sysoptv-app-0.3.0-setup.exe | Windows app with installer |

| sysoptv-app-0.3.0-portable.zip | Windows app without installer |

## What's inside

- Six retro designs drawn by the cube itself: Säulen, Phosphor, DOS, ANSI, Bernstein, Klassik

- Show usage as used or remaining

- Web interface with overview, settings, updates over WLAN, admin password, brightness and night mode

- Image mode: the Windows app renders the screen and streams only the changed parts to the cube

- Windows app with side menu: several cubes, each with its own function and design

- Shopify screens (orders today, receipt, weekly chart, overview), no customer data is fetched

## Installation

1. Flash sysoptv-0.4.1.bin through the firmware update function of the original GeekMagic web interface. If you already run SysopTV, use /update on the cube.

2. Connect to the hotspot SysopTV-Setup-xxxx, open 192.168.4.1 and choose your WLAN.

3. Set an admin password first.

4. Install the Windows app, search for your cube and pick a function.

Details are in the README.

## Windows SmartScreen

The app is not code signed, so Windows shows "Unknown publisher". Click "More info" and then "Run anyway". The full source code is in this repository.

## Tested on real hardware

Flashing, WLAN setup, all designs on the cube and as images, admin password, settings, brightness and night mode, emergency reset, API key, display without PC, /flashbackup, Windows app with one cube.

## Not tested yet

- Shopify against a real shop

- Several cubes at the same time

- Going back to the original GeekMagic firmware

## Changed since earlier builds

The cube is now reachable as sysoptv-xxxx.local instead of sysoptv.local. If you use the PowerShell script, point it to the IP address.
