toolctl helps you manage your tools on Linux and macOS.

This project is no longer maintained. We recommend mise as a modern alternative. It offers all the core functionality of toolctl and much more.

Our goal is to support as many tools as possible, so expect this list to grow significantly over time.

In general, toolctl currently supports any tool that:

✔ consists of a single executable file
✔ runs on Linux and/or macOS
✔ includes a command or flag to print its semantic version
✔ provides its source code and precompiled binaries online under a free and open source license

If you know a tool that fits all of these criteria, please open an issue and let us know!
