WinNUT 2.0.7722.30975, published by Gawindx, is a lightweight Windows client designed to connect a Windows workstation to a Network UPS Tools (NUT) server running on Linux, giving the PC the same real-time visibility into uninterruptible power supply status that native Linux clients enjoy. Once installed, the program listens to the NUT daemon over the network, displays live metrics such as input voltage, load percentage, battery charge and runtime, and can be configured to shut the local machine down gracefully when the UPS switches to battery, ensuring no data is lost during extended outages. Typical deployments include home labs where a single Raspberry Pi or Debian box acts as the NUT master for several devices, small offices that run critical services on Linux yet keep employee desktops on Windows, and gaming rigs that draw too much power for a USB HID connection but still need automated shutdown protection. Because it implements the standard NUT protocol, WinNUT is compatible with any UPS brand supported by the server—APC, CyberPower, Eaton, Tripp Lite, etc.—and coexists with other monitoring tools without requiring proprietary drivers. The application sits in the system tray, pops up balloon alerts for events like “on battery” or “low battery,” and exposes a minimalist GUI for choosing the server, UPS name, polling interval, and shutdown thresholds; advanced users can also override the command line arguments sent to the server for customized behavior. WinNUT is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
