## Vyla Home

**Vyla Home** is the desktop application in the Vyla ecosystem. It prepares and runs the local services that power your media experience, then opens the interface in a secure embedded window. It is designed for people who want Vyla without managing a separate server process, reverse proxy, or service lifecycle by hand.
