About WSL Manager

A GUI to quickly manage your WSL2 instances.

What's new in 2.5.0.0

> New here? The 2.0.0 release notes carry the full picture — what WSL Manager 2 is, every feature, the download table and how Pro works. This release lists what changed since 2.4.1.
Your instances
- System resources (new): see what an instance is using right now — processor time, memory and swap — with a live graph that keeps updating while you watch.
AI assistant
- The assistant, and any MCP client, can now restart a virtual machine that has stopped responding: it asks the guest to shut down, powers it off if it does not answer, and brings it back up.
- Two conversations saved in the same instant no longer end up filed as one.
macOS
- The Homebrew cask now ships with Homebrew itself, so installing needs no tap: brew install --cask wsl-manager.
And
- Smaller fixes and maintenance.
Downloads
Same as 2.0.0: Microsoft Store (recommended on Windows), the -setup.exe or portable .zip below, winget install Bostrot.WSLManager, and on Apple silicon the .dmg or brew install --cask wsl-manager. On Windows on ARM, pick the arm64 installer or ZIP.

Arduino Builder

Arduino Builder 1.0.13

Arduino Builder is a standalone utility for viewing, compiling and uploading Arduino sketch files and compiled ELF or HEX files to Arduino boards with the Arduino serial programming interface, Arduino ISP or USBasp, without the need for the Arduino IDE. The app has a standard user interface with drop down menus to choose the data you need. The functions of the utility can be undertaken in 3 steps. When compiling is required, for uploading sketch file, Arduino Builder scans the sketch for referenced libraries and then builds the necessary libraries automatically. The distribution package contains Arduino 1.0.4 core and library files, AVR GCC compiler toolchain and AVRDUDE. Please be aware that as only the standard Arduino libraries are shipped with the utility, if you want to build with custom libraries, then you will need to place the library source code files with the identical directory name into /arduino/libraries directory.
