CtrlOps

What is CtrlOps?

CtrlOps is a local-first desktop app for Linux servers, with SSH, an AI terminal, a file manager, monitoring, backups, and one-click deployment. It is made by TST Tech Matrix Pvt Ltd.

What CtrlOps does

CtrlOps connects to Linux servers over SSH from the desktop. Credentials stay on the machine. There is no agent to install on the servers, and the page says there is no cloud relay and no telemetry. The AI terminal takes plain English. Review and approve every command before it runs. The file manager supports upload, download, and unzip. Live monitoring covers CPU, memory, disk, and network. One-click deployment can ship Node, React, or Next.js from a GitHub repo, with PM2, Nginx, and SSL. The app also covers a user registry, who can log in and who has sudo, backups to S3, port forwarding, cron jobs, and a PM2 process manager. Security audit runs 25 security audits over SSH for a hardening score and a PDF report. Native builds exist for macOS, Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows, and Linux.

Who CtrlOps is for

Solo operators, freelancers, startups, and engineering teams who manage Linux servers.

How CtrlOps works

Download CtrlOps for Mac, Windows, or Linux and connect over SSH. The page says the first server can be connected with no cloud and no credit card. SSH keys and server credentials stay encrypted on the machine and are never uploaded. In plain English, review and approve every command before it runs. A one-click deploy form takes a GitHub repo, env vars, and a domain, and the page says PM2, Nginx, and SSL are handled. The free trial is $0 for 1 month and unlocks every Pro feature, with no auto-charge when it ends. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are priced per user, never per server.
