CtrlOps
CtrlOps is a local-first desktop app for managing Linux servers with an AI-assisted terminal, real-time monitoring, and SSH access.
CtrlOps is a local-first desktop app designed for managing Linux servers from a single screen using an AI-assisted terminal, real-time monitoring, and SSH access. It runs entirely on your machine, ensuring your credentials, SSH keys, and server IPs never touch the cloud. The platform features an AI terminal where you describe tasks in plain English and approve every command before execution, a visual file manager for drag-and-drop file operations without separate SFTP clients, and one-click GitHub deployments with PM2, Nginx, and SSL handled automatically. It also includes 25 security audits with hardening scores and PDF reports, user access management, and live performance monitoring. Built for developers, designers, solo founders, and IT teams, CtrlOps eliminates terminal tab chaos and the need to remember server IPs.
