noclue

Noclue is a niche software publisher focused on command-line utilities for VMware vSphere administrators. The company’s sole public offering, vtui, turns the traditional mouse-driven vCenter interface into a keyboard-navigable terminal dashboard, letting operators browse inventories, monitor host health, migrate VMs, and tweak resource pools without leaving the shell. Written in Go and distributed as a single static binary, the tool parses the same vSphere APIs used by the official GUI, so it inherits all role-based permissions and requires no extra server-side components. Typical sessions start with an autocomplete search that surfaces datacenters, clusters, folders, or individual VMs; from there, hotkeys jump to real-time CPU, memory, and storage charts, power operations, snapshot trees, or even open an in-place console session over WebMKS. Because vtui keeps a local, read-through cache of the vCenter object model, common tasks such as bulk tagging, dvPort-group reconfiguration, or storage vMotion can be scripted in minutes rather than navigated through nested wizards. The interface is color-themeable and supports SSH multiplexing, making it convenient for jump-host workflows and CI pipelines that need a lightweight way to validate infrastructure before or after blue-green deployments. Noclue’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always pull the latest release, and can be installed individually or in batch alongside other administrative tools.
