Starship UI puts an LCARS bridge in a tab.

A free, fan-made LCARS emulator in a browser tab, with nothing to install: generated panels, alert conditions and working instruments.

Starship UI: an LCARS bridge operations panel

What it is

An LCARS bridge in a browser tab: curated consoles, a generator that lays out fresh Okudagram panels, working instruments from a warp core to a master systems display, screen-accurate color schemes and the full set of alert conditions.

It's free, fan-made and non-commercial. Star Trek and LCARS are trademarks of CBS Studios and Paramount; this is a tribute, with no affiliation and nothing for sale.

Why a studio built a Star Trek toy

Because a generated panel is a hard layout problem in costume. LCARS panels look arbitrary and aren't, and one that breaks the rules reads as wrong at once. It's the same problem as any constraint-driven layout, far more fun to debug than an invoice template, and the least commercially useful thing we've built. We're keeping it.
