How the CLI Works

The CLI isn’t a separate data system. It simply talks to a running Granoflow desktop app through a local interface.

When you run a script to create a task, the data still ends up in Granoflow — the script is just a different way of entering it.

| Your situation | What to check first | Next step | | --- | --- | --- | | Don’t know where to start | The current page title and main entry points | Pick only the one item related to your current goal | | The result isn’t correct after an action | Status, empty prompts, access logs, or sync progress | Go back one level and check step‑by‑step | | Worried about affecting data | Backup, sync, account, or permission notes | Stop, confirm the scope, then continue |

If the desktop app isn’t running, the CLI usually can’t complete operations that need the local interface. Start the app first.

After reading this section, go back to the task you were working on. Choose just one minimal action to continue: log a single input, check a status, or open relevant settings to confirm something.
