Systemd manager tui is a terminal user interface for managing systemd services.
It lets you view logs and properties, edit unit files, and control the service lifecycle through D-Bus. Supported operations include starting, stopping, restarting, enabling, disabling, masking and unmasking units.
It handles system and user units, supports Vim-like navigation, and can use polkit for privileged operations instead of requiring the entire application to run with sudo.
This is free and open source software.
