SysOpsKit
Read full descriptionHide full description
SysOpsKit is a practical toolkit for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, SREs, and support teams. The app combines two things in one place: - an offline-first command handbook - a focused set of daily network and data utilities You can quickly find and reuse commands for Windows, Linux, and macOS (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh), save favorites, and build your own snippet collection with notes. Core capabilities: - Fast search by title, description, and tags - Favorites and personal command snippets - Copy-ready command cards with clear structure - Sync of favorites and custom snippets across devices Built-in utilities cover common operational tasks such as: - SSH terminal for remote administration - SFTP client for browsing and transferring files over SSH - TCP/UDP diagnostics, port checks, and common ports scan - DNS lookups, WHOIS/RDAP, IP info, and CIDR/subnet calculations - HTTP requests, cURL parsing, and WebSocket testing - JWT inspection, UUID/ULID generation/validation, HMAC calculator - JSON/YAML formatting, regex testing, and TLS diagnostics - Messaging protocol checks for MQTT, AMQP, and WAMP Instead of switching between many small tools and websites, keep your day-to-day ops workflow in one app that still works when your connection is limited.
