About Macsmith
Macsmith brings command-line developer tools into one native macOS GUI for inspecting and managing a local development environment. Manage Homebrew packages and services, switch runtimes with mise and nvm, run Docker through Colima, inspect Lima virtual machines, and start or stop local PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB services. Find which processes are using network ports, manage SSH keys, edit hosts files and shell aliases, and configure local HTTPS with Caddy and mkcert. The app also includes DNS utilities, ngrok and cloudflared tunnel controls, AWS CLI profile and rclone remote views, and developer cache cleanup. Inspect tool state for free; a one-time Pro license is required to install, update, start, stop, or otherwise change supported tools. Macsmith runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.

Nivo
Nivo is a native macOS utility for people who want to review and manage storage, applications, routine maintenance, and system activity from one desktop app. Its Clean tool scans caches, temporary files, logs, and other removable data, then displays items for review before cleanup. Uninstall identifies related support files and settings when removing applications. Optimize runs maintenance tasks such as rebuilding indexes and flushing DNS, while Analyze presents disk usage in a navigable treemap. Status shows CPU, memory, GPU, storage, network, battery, thermal information, and running processes. A built-in diagnostic report helps users inspect permissions and common system issues. The app runs on macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. File scans run locally, and the app sends no analytics or telemetry. Nivo also offers a separate open-source command-line companion that shares the cleaning engine.

azerioid
azerioid Stack Manager is a self-hosted server control panel built entirely in Laravel and Livewire. One command bootstraps the panel itself (Caddy + PHP + SQLite), then everything else — web servers (Caddy, Apache, Nginx), databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), Redis, Node.js, and background process management via Supervisor — is installed on demand from the dashboard, no third-party base stack required.
Each virtual host can independently run a different web server engine behind a single Caddy front door, with automatic Let's Encrypt HTTPS, a scoped web terminal and file manager per site, per-database remote-access control, and a full CLI with feature parity to the UI. It's been verified end-to-end on Ubuntu, Debian, and Enterprise Linux (with SELinux enforcing) across real servers.
