Amper — Linux Control Panel

Your Linux development stack, one control panel.

Amper is a desktop app for managing Apache, PHP, MySQL, Nginx, databases, and other systemd services — without memorizing terminal commands. Built for developers coming from XAMPP or Laragon on Windows.

9+Service modules

3Built-in panels

1-clickStart / Stop / Install

Everything you need to run a local dev environment

Amper wraps system tools you already use — systemctl, pkexec, and your package manager — in a clean dark UI with real-time status, port monitoring, and quick access to configs and logs.

Linux Services

See every module at a glance: status, PID, and ports. Install or remove packages, start and stop services, open admin URLs, edit configs, and view logs — all from one table.

Network Ports

Live port monitor powered by psutil. See which process listens on each port and get instant conflict warnings when two services fight for the same port.

About & Permissions

One-time permission setup via polkit so Start, Stop, Install, and Remove work without repeated password prompts. Developer info and social links built in.

☰

Activity Log

Every service action is logged with timestamps at the bottom of the window. Know exactly what happened and when.

●

System Tray

Minimize to tray and control running services from the context menu. Amper stays out of your way while you code.

⚡

Universal Linux

Works with apt, dnf, yum, pacman, and zypper. Discovers systemd units automatically — only shows services that exist on your machine.

Linux Net About

Each row gives you seven actions — color-coded for speed:

Install Remove Start Stop Admin Config Logs
