ServicePilot

A sleek, modern Windows service manager built with Tauri, React & Rust.

Stop digging through services.msc. Manage all your Windows background services and custom tasks from one clean, real-time dashboard.

English | 简体中文

✨ Features

• 📊 Full System Service Overview — List every installed Windows service with real-time status, PID, and start type. No more scrolling through the bloated services.msc.
• 🔍 Instant Search & Filter — Find any service by name in milliseconds. Filter by running/stopped/all status.
• ▶️ One-Click Start / Stop / Restart — Manage any service directly from the dashboard, with UAC elevation handled automatically.
• 🔎 Service Detail Inspector — Click any service to see its full configuration: binary path, account, dependencies, service type, error control level, and more.
• 🛡️ Custom Task Management — Register your own scripts and background programs as managed services via Servy integration. Create new services or link existing ones — all in one place.
• 🚀 Servy Integration — One-click Servy installation. Turn any Python script, Node.js app, or batch file into a robust Windows service with native crash recovery and boot-time auto-start.
• 🌍 Bilingual UI — Full English / 简体中文 interface with instant language switching. Your preference is remembered.
• ⚡ Real-Time Polling — Status changes are pushed to the UI automatically every 3 seconds via Tauri's event system. No manual refresh needed.
• 💾 Lightweight — Single ~11MB executable. No Electron bloat. No runtime dependencies (SQLite is statically linked).

🚀 Quick Start

Option A: Download the Installer

Grab the latest NSIS installer from the Releases page:

File	Description
ServicePilot_x.x.x_x64-setup.exe	NSIS installer (recommended, per-user install)

Double-click to install — no admin needed for installation. The app itself requests admin on launch (required for service management).

Option B: Build from Source

Prerequisites: Node.js 20+, pnpm, Rust (stable), Windows 10/11.

git clone https://github.com/Joclto/service-pilot.git
cd service-pilot
pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev      # 🧪 Launch in dev mode (hot reload)
pnpm tauri build    # 📦 Produce installer in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/

⚙️ Development

Run in dev mode

pnpm tauri dev

Note: The app embeds a requireAdministrator manifest for service management. Run your terminal as Administrator for tauri dev, or temporarily change manifest.xml to asInvoker for UI-only development.

Build the installer

pnpm tauri build --bundles nsis

Output: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/ServicePilot_x.x.x_x64-setup.exe
