Scuttle‑Shell is a lightweight system‑tray utility that runs a Secure Scuttlebutt node (sbot) continuously in the background, giving local users easy access to the ssb network and its plug‑in ecosystem. It can be installed globally via npm and started from the command line or programmatically through a simple API (`start`, `stop`, `getConfig`), making it useful for developers and power‑users who want a always‑on ssb daemon with minimal setup.
