System Management Utilities for Everyone

Command-line utilities for file management, system diagnostics, process control, and everyday computing tasks. Works the same on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

DazzleTools is a collection of standalone command-line utilities designed to solve real-world system management problems. From fixing Windows connectivity bugs to backing up your family photos with verification, these tools make everyday computing tasks easier and more reliable.

• Cross-Platform - Same commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Composable - Tools work together but don't require each other
• No Bloat - Each tool does one thing well
• Transparent Behavior - You control what happens, tools don't guess

Brew for your own tools — many tools, one command, any machine

Install dz and every tool in DazzleTools is immediately at your fingertips — no cloning individual repos, no PATH configuration, no per-tool setup. DazzleCMD is the unified interface that brings the entire collection under one command:

pip install dazzle-dz

# The full DazzleTools collection, ready to use
dz list                        # See everything available
dz dos2unix myfile.txt         # Run any tool directly
dz info preserve               # Get details about a tool

But DazzleCMD isn't just for DazzleTools. dz is a personal tool manager for any developer. Everyone has scripts scattered across machines that aren't version-controlled, or that break on different platforms, and can't be easily found when needed. dz solves this. It turn any script into a versioned, namespaced tool available on any computer, any platform, without setting up a new git repo for each one.

# Create a tool from your script — immediately versioned and organized
dz new my-backup --full -d "Backup important files with verification"

# Import an entire GitHub org or user's repos as a kit
dz kit import --org djdarcy    # Every tool, namespaced and ready

# Your tools work the same everywhere
dz my-backup ~/documents /mnt/nas
dz rename-files *.txt --dry-run

What makes it different from brew, just, or a ~/bin directory?

• Your tools, not just community packages — dz new scaffolds, versions, and organizes scripts you already have
• Import whole collections — pull in a GitHub org or user's repos and have every tool instantly available
• Polyglot dispatch — Python, bash, PowerShell, compiled binaries — dz runs them all transparently
• No PATH hell — one command works across Windows, Linux, and macOS without per-machine setup
• Namespace collision prevention — work:deploy and personal:deploy coexist cleanly
• Kit-based curation — bundle tools into logical groups (DazzleTools itself is just one kit)
• Tool lifecycle — one-off scripts start in dz, grow into full repos with CI/CD and tests, then return to dz as submodules. The ecosystem captures the entire journey from quick hack to mature project — and tools never leave
