About WSL UI
A passion project turned productivity tool
WSL UI started as a personal project to make managing Windows Subsystem for Linux distributions easier and more intuitive. What began as a simple dashboard has grown into a comprehensive management tool with themes, custom actions, and deep WSL integration.
Built with Tauri and React, WSL UI delivers native performance with a modern interface. The ~4MB installer contains everything you need with no bloat, minimal telemetry, and no accounts required.
Read the Building WSL UI blog series to learn about the technical decisions and journey behind the project.
