README
Kaizoku Service Manager
A modern Windows service manager that does what services.msc won't: group and filter services by the account they run under, and save your own custom views.
Why
Built for Windows Server, where a single box often runs dozens of services across several dedicated accounts (bots, workers, game servers, app pools, scheduled agents). The built-in Services console can't filter by logon account and can't save groupings, so you waste time scrolling and squinting. Kaizoku Service Manager fixes exactly that, and works just as well on Windows 10/11.
Features
Accounts sidebar: every logon account on the machine, with live counts. Click to see only that account's services.
Custom views: save arbitrary groupings of services (by account substring, an explicit pick list, or both). Switch between them in one click.
Live status: running / stopped / total counts per view, with colour-coded state pills.
Favorites: right-click any service to star it; the Favorites view collects them.
Search: instant filter across name, display name, account, state, startup type, and PID.
Export: dump the current view to CSV or JSON.
Native: single signed-able .exe, runs elevated, talks directly to the Windows Service Control Manager (no sc.exe/nssm shelling).
