Deploy and monitoring · by TST Tech Matrix Pvt Ltd

CtrlOps

A desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that manages your Linux servers over plain SSH from one window: an AI terminal that turns plain English into commands you approve, a file manager, live CPU/memory/disk charts, log search, S3 backups, SSH access audits and one-click Node/React/Next.js deploys with PM2, Nginx and SSL.

You stop juggling SSH tabs, IPs and one-off scripts across a fleet of VPSes, and nothing has to be installed on the servers or sent to a vendor cloud.

For your agent

No official API. An agent should not scrape the site: use it by hand.

  • No developer API: it is a desktop GUI; the 'API key' only activates the app licence. Docs pages are available as markdown at https://ctrlops.io/docs/llms.mdx/<path>; the AI terminal uses your own OpenAI, Gemini, Claude or OpenAI-compatible key
  • Do not share or resell licence keys; the licence ends when the trial or plan ends
  • Review every AI-suggested command before approving it; effects on your servers cannot be undone by CtrlOps
