Tools for engineers
who live in the
terminal.
Four open-source diagnostics tools for people who run their own machines — network, system, disk and audio. Single Rust binary, no telemetry, no daemon, MIT-licensed. macOS and Linux.
Built in the open.
Each project is a single static Rust binary — MIT-licensed, no daemon, no telemetry. Stars and versions are live from GitHub.
Zero-config TUI for Linux. Interface bandwidth, gateway latency, packet loss, DNS latency, connections — one binary, no root, instant visibility.
$ man netwatch — how to use →12 tabs covering CPU, memory, disks, processes, GPU, power, services, network — plus a Timeline scrubber and an Insights anomaly engine. Sibling to netwatch.
$ man syswatch — how to use →Eight tabs across devices, volumes, filesystems, IO, SMART, hot files, and insights — capacity trends, throughput, p99 latency, and the files being written right now. Read-only, no daemon. Sibling to netwatch and syswatch.
$ man diskwatch — how to use →Ten tabs across devices, streams, meters, a real-time spectrum analyser, latency, xruns and routing — for the one question no other terminal tool answers: why does my audio sound wrong? macOS and Linux, read-only by construction.
$ man soundwatch — how to use →A quiet, read-only window into your stack.
One static Rust binary per tool. Reads everything, mutates nothing. No daemon, no telemetry, no SaaS lock-in.
Three install paths. One philosophy.
Pick what your machine already has. The binaries are static — they'll run on any Linux from 2018 onwards.
Six rules we don’t break.
If a feature contradicts one of these, it doesn’t ship.
Last six releases.
Pulled live from GitHub Releases across the four repos. Every release is signed.

A hosted, multi-host fleet view built on the OSS agent. Free tier today; paid tiers may arrive later for higher-volume use. The OSS tools work without it — that’s a guarantee, not a promise.
