Tool Kit

A modern, extensible WPF application for managing and executing CLI tools.

📖 Overview

Tool Kit is a developer-centric GUI designed to unify your workflow. Stop hunting for scattered scripts or memorizing complex terminal commands. With Tool Kit, you can seamlessly organize, discover, and run your CLI tools from a beautiful, grid-based dashboard.

Built entirely on .NET 8.0 and WPF, it leverages modern desktop capabilities to provide a fluid, responsive experience.

• 🛡️ Privilege Escalation: Easily launch tools with Administrator privileges when required.
• 🌐 GitHub Integration: Discover and clone developer tools directly from GitHub repositories without leaving the app.
• 🖱️ Drag & Drop: Instantly onboard new tools by dragging .ps1, .bat, or executable files into the workspace.
• 🗂️ Dedicated Library: Manage your installed scripts in a clean, categorized "Installed Tools" view.
• 📝 Built-in Editor: Review and modify tool configurations, execution arguments, and readmes on the fly.
