isd is an interactive terminal UI (TUI) for managing systemd units, built in Python with the Textual framework. It provides fuzzy search over units, auto-refreshing previews, smart sudo handling, and extensive keyboard-driven customization.

Use cases

  • manage systemd units from the terminal
  • fuzzy search systemd services
  • view systemd unit status and logs in a TUI
  • edit and restart systemd services quickly
  • replace repetitive systemctl and journalctl commands
  • browse systemd user units interactively

When to choose

  • you frequently run systemctl, journalctl, and systemctl edit in sequence
  • you want a keyboard-driven, customizable TUI for systemd on Linux
  • you want a friendlier systemd interface for newcomers

When to avoid

  • you are not on a systemd-based Linux system
  • you prefer scripting systemctl commands non-interactively
  • you need a GUI for service management
