Nimbus Toolbox
One launcher to manage them all. Nimbus Toolbox is the dashboard for the entire Cloud Nimbus Desktop Suite — auto-discovers your installed tools, lets you launch them with one click, and can clone and install any tools you're missing directly from GitHub.
No installer. Just download the portable .exe and run it.
What it does
Auto-Discover Tools
Scans your Projects folder, Desktop, and Documents for installed Cloud Nimbus tools. No manual config needed.
One-Click Launch
Start any tool instantly. Run as Administrator when needed for tools like Bandwidth Governor that require elevated permissions.
Clone & Install from GitHub
Missing a tool? Nimbus Toolbox clones the repo, installs dependencies, and optionally builds the .exe for you.
Auto-Update on Launch
Every time you launch a tool, Toolbox pulls the latest from GitHub first. Always running the newest version.
System Tray Dashboard
Minimizes to the system tray. Right-click for quick access to launch any tool without opening the full dashboard.
Usage Tracking
See how often you launch each tool, when you last used it, and sort your dashboard by most-used tools.
Tools in the catalog
Nimbus Toolbox knows about all of these. Install any from the dashboard with one click.
Rate-limit upload/download bandwidth per-app via Windows QoS
Cap CPU and memory usage per-app via processor affinity
Unified bandwidth + CPU + memory control in one tool
Visual localhost port manager with one-click kill

How it works
Nimbus Toolbox scans configurable directories (default: ~/Projects, C:\Projects, Desktop, Documents) looking for Cloud Nimbus tool repositories. It matches folder names against its built-in catalog.
For tools it finds, you get one-click launch, open-in-terminal, and open-in-explorer shortcuts. For tools you don't have yet, it offers to clone them from GitHub, run npm install, and build the .exe — all from the dashboard.
Built with Electron. Requires Windows 10/11, Git, and Node.js. Portable .exe — no installer needed.
Windows today, Mac coming soon
Nimbus Toolbox and all Desktop Suite tools are currently Windows-only. Mac support is actively in development. Built with Electron, so the cross-platform foundation is already there.
Licensed under BSL 1.1 — converts to Apache 2.0 after 4 years per release.
Built with Electron and Claude Code.
