# User interface

The graphical user interface of Exivity is a pure client-side application, which means it runs inside your web browser. It communicates with the Exivity [REST-API](https://olddocs.exivity.io/3.5.4/advanced/integrate#rest-api) to obtain data records, report data and general configuration. This means all functionality available in the GUI can also be accessed programmatically.
