I built a custom Linux command workbench with Electron to stop retyping CLI flags

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Phoenix Tools is a new open-source Electron desktop app for Debian, Ubuntu, and Kali that turns Linux CLI workflows into reusable GUI command forms.
It wraps local binaries, lets users edit flags, and streams live terminal output so the underlying command stays visible.
The app supports filtering, themes, JSON export, and packaged .deb and AppImage builds for easier installation.
It aims to simplify repetitive tasks across tools like nmap, systemctl, and journalctl without hiding the terminal behavior.
