CtrlOps
Manage Linux servers with AI terminal, file manager, and one-click deployments.

CtrlOps is a local-first desktop application for managing Linux servers via SSH, featuring an AI-assisted terminal, real-time monitoring, and a built-in file manager. It consolidates tools like PuTTY, WinSCP, and web dashboards into a single native app with no cloud dependency. Credentials and data never leave the user's machine, and no agents are required on remote servers.
CtrlOps connects directly to servers over SSH from a native desktop app, providing an AI-assisted terminal, file manager, and monitoring without any cloud intermediary or remote agents.
