Deploy, Debug, and Manage all your Linux servers from one screen

Nine terminal tabs. Three people. Zero clarity on what was wrong.

That was us during a production incident eight months into building CtrlOps. I was on a client call pretending everything was fine. Hiren was refreshing a dashboard that told him nothing. Deep was alone with nine tabs and a prayer.

We ran a 30-person IT company. We had built products used by 25,59,314 people for clients who raised from YC and Shark Tank India.

We still had no real visibility into our own servers.

Every time something broke, it ran through one person. If he was unavailable, we were blind. The tools that existed were built for engineers who grew up in the terminal. No UI. No clarity. No way for the rest of the team to operate confidently.

So we built CtrlOps.

One desktop app for developers and small teams to manage Linux servers without a dedicated DevOps engineer. SSH access, file management, AI terminal, one-click deployment, and live infrastructure monitoring, all in one place. Local-first. No cloud sync. $7 per month flat for unlimited servers.

We launched on Product Hunt last month and ranked #5 Product of the Day with zero paid marketing.

Now sharing the build journey publicly here. Happy to answer anything about the product, the decision to build it, or how we got early traction.
