Four products, one small bench: network discovery, file movement, outage evidence, and private messaging. Everything below links to real downloads, real changelogs, and support routes that reach an actual human.
The shelf is active, not ornamental.
1.0 Stable: discovery, ports, service inspection, notes, and change tracking.
View →GA file-transfer client with Pro licensing, scheduling, tunnels, and verification workflows.
View →Public outage monitor for ISP evidence, probe ladders, timelines, reports, and alerts.
View →End-to-end encrypted private messenger with a buddy list, rooms, and a 30-day history cap. Live at clumsymessenger.com.
View →The tool shelf.
The shelf now covers four active product lines: network visibility, controlled file movement, outage evidence, and private messaging. They are focused, versioned, and not trying to become a full management suite. That is still the point.
ClumsyNetWatch™
A portable Windows network reconnaissance console for seeing what is on your network and what changed since the last look.
- Host discovery
- Port scanning
- Service inspection
- History and diffs
- Labels and notes
- Export and import
ClumsyFileMover™
A Windows file transfer client for controlled FTP, SFTP, SCP, and FTPS workflows without burying the basics under glitter.
- Dual-pane browser
- Scheduled transfers
- SSH tunneling
- Conflict pre-scan
- Checksum verification
- Microsoft Store install
ClumsyLinkWatch™
An internet outage monitor that classifies faults by whose responsibility they are and exports the evidence report to prove it wasn't your network.
- Probe ladder fault detection
- ISP-fault classification
- PDF/HTML evidence reports
- Live timeline & history
- Webhook alerts
- Starlink & dual-WAN aware
Clumsy Messenger
A retro-style private messenger for direct conversations, buddy lists, and rooms. Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted in your browser, so the server relays ciphertext it cannot read.
- Buddy-list messaging
- Rooms and groups
- End-to-end encrypted DMs
- 30-day history cap
- Two-factor auth
- Retro IM interface
Start with the thing being annoying.
Most visitors do not arrive thinking in product names. They arrive with a network that changed, a transfer that failed, an ISP that is lying by omission, or a private chat they do not want shoveled into somebody else's growth dashboard.
What is on this network?
Discover hosts, inspect ports, keep notes, and compare what changed since the last scan.
I need this transfer to not be stupid.
Move files over FTP, SFTP, SCP, or FTPS with scheduling, checksums, and fewer little surprises.
Was it me, the router, or the ISP?
Track outages, classify the likely fault, and export evidence when the internet does internet things.
I want a private messenger that feels human.
Buddy lists, rooms, profiles, and end-to-end encrypted chats with a retro IM feel and a history cap instead of a permanent archive.
Built like a lab bench, not a pitch deck.
Clumsy's Lab LLC builds practical software for homelabbers, sysadmins, small IT teams, and infrastructure operators. The focus is simple: ship tools that help with real work, explain what they do, and avoid pretending every utility needs to become a cloud platform.
For the awkward middle ground.
Clumsy's Lab is built for the people who own the weird network, the old workstation, the mystery service, the flaky internet link, and the private conversation that does not need a corporate babysitter.
Good fit
- Homelabbers who want visibility without deploying a full monitoring stack.
- Solo sysadmins and small IT teams that need direct Windows tools.
- Operators who prefer clear exports, changelogs, local workflows, and products that explain themselves.
- Power users who want practical utilities without enterprise cosplay.
Not trying to be
- A full RMM suite with a sales pipeline attached.
- A cloud-only dashboard for problems that can be solved locally.
- A magical AI operations layer that mostly generates meetings.
- A subscription trap wearing a tiny utility mustache.
Practical means checkable.
Everything here is meant to be checked, not taken on faith: versions, changelogs, checksums, and privacy notes are published up front.
What is next on the bench.
The current focus is finishing, not starting: getting every tool to a solid 1.0 and making each release easier to trust. New shiny things can wait their turn.
1.0.0 Stable is live — the first non-RC release. Saved credentials are now encrypted, update checks understand release labels, and the changelog has been rebuilt.
0.9.1 is live with evidence reports and Starlink support. The last stretch is polish, not features.
Direct messages now run on a per-device Double Ratchet. Group chats and rooms are next in line.
Questions, licensing, weird edge cases?
