A fast, simple terminal UI (TUI) written in Rust for browsing and managing systemd services, timers, and their logs. It supports viewing and editing unit files and managing services on remote hosts over SSH.

Use cases

• browse systemd service status in a terminal
• view and search service logs without typing journalctl commands
• start, stop, and restart systemd services from a TUI
• manage systemd timers and their schedules
• view and edit systemd unit files
• manage systemd services on a remote host over SSH

When to choose

• you administer Linux machines with systemd and want a faster alternative to raw systemctl/journalctl commands
• you want an interactive terminal UI for service management without leaving the terminal
• you need to manage services on remote hosts without installing anything there

When to avoid

• you are on macOS, Windows (without WSL with systemd), or another non-systemd platform
• you need to manage non-systemd init systems like OpenRC or runit
• you prefer scripting service management rather than interactive use
