OctoShell for Android

11 things about OctoShell

1. Running OctoPi in a browser there is no icon for the session - you have to fumble through browser tabs to find it.

2. OctoShell works just like running the OctoPi session from a browser but without all the inconvenience.

3. In the past you would have the browser open pointing to an OctoPi session maybe in far the corner of a second monitor while you keep an eye on the printing process.

4. OctoShell efficiently houses your OctoPi / OctoPrint printer session making it a standalone app.

5. The minute you click on a link in an email the standard browser operation opens up a new tab in the browser that's monitoring OctoPi.

6. OctoShell solves this by keeping your sessions in unique windows and tabs that retain their position and size across invocations and gives you a unique icon in the dock.

7. Now you have to grab that browser or the tab and drag it and resize it and place it where you want on the desktop messing up your perfectly sized printer status window.

8. This creates a separate icon on the dock and frees up your browser for other things.

9. Another problem is bringing the OctoPi session to the front.

10. OctoShell's preferences makes it easy to setup and remember your connection to the printer.

11. That's a long time to tie up your browser.
