Step-by-step setup guide

Step-by-step setup (under 2 minutes):

1

Download the installer

Click the download button above to get Bobine-Setup-x.y.z.exe (for Intel / AMD) or Bobine-Setup-x.y.z-arm64.exe (for Snapdragon X Elite / X Plus).

2

Launch the setup wizard

Double-click Bobine-Setup-x.y.z.exe. The standard Windows setup wizard will create a desktop shortcut and prepare the self-contained environment.

3

Silent background run & System Tray

Bobine starts silently in the background without any intrusive black console windows. A discrete Bobine icon appears in your Windows system tray (near the clock) allowing you to manage or close the service anytime.

4

Browser interface & Mobile Wi-Fi remote

Your default web browser automatically opens to http://localhost:8000. An inbound firewall rule is automatically added to Windows Defender so any smartphone on your local Wi-Fi can open the remote via your PC's IP address.

5

Import workouts & Anti-sleep safeguard

Drag and drop your video workout files (MP4, MKV, WebM) directly into the library. The built-in Screen Wake Lock API ensures your screen stays awake during workouts without altering your Windows power plans.
