Insites CLI Tool Graphical User Interface

Last updated on October 13, 2026.

Insites CLI GUI

The Insites CLI includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a visual way to manage your instance, view logs, and run common commands without typing in the terminal.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The Command Line Interface Graphical User Interface (CLI GUI) is an optional view of interacting with your instance via the CLI Tool.

Using the GUI connected to your instance can greatly enhance your workflow by simplifying complex processes. The graphical interface can provide a more intuitive way to visualize deployment settings, manage configurations, and monitor progress in real time. The user-friendly approach reduces the learning curve, making it easier to onboard new team members or collaborate with those less familiar with command-line operations. Additionally, the GUI can help minimize human error by offering validation checks and clear feedback, allowing you to focus more on your code and less on the intricacies of deployment commands. Overall, integrating the GUI can streamline your deployment process, improve efficiency, and enhance your overall development experience.

Starting the GUI

Run this in your project folder. It starts a local server for the environment you name, at by default. Press to stop it.

Options:

  • - Use another port (default 3030)
  • - Open your browser when the GUI is ready
  • - Run sync at the same time, so your saved files go to the instance while you use the GUI

The GUI connects straight to your instance, so the GraphQL and Liquid editors work on its live data. It also shows your data, constants and logs. The logs page is at .

Dark Mode

Are you tired of straining your eyes while working late at night? Try switching from light to dark mode.

Dark mode is easier on the eyes, particularly in low-light environments, reducing glare and minimizing blue light exposure. This helps alleviate fatigue and discomfort during long sessions.
