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.
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 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.
A portable Windows network reconnaissance console for seeing what is on your network and what changed since the last look.
A Windows file transfer client for controlled FTP, SFTP, SCP, and FTPS workflows without burying the basics under glitter.
An internet outage monitor that classifies faults by whose responsibility they are and exports the evidence report to prove it wasn't your network.
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.
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.
Discover hosts, inspect ports, keep notes, and compare what changed since the last scan.
Move files over FTP, SFTP, SCP, or FTPS with scheduling, checksums, and fewer little surprises.
Track outages, classify the likely fault, and export evidence when the internet does internet things.
Buddy lists, rooms, profiles, and end-to-end encrypted chats with a retro IM feel and a history cap instead of a permanent archive.
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.
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.
Everything here is meant to be checked, not taken on faith: versions, changelogs, checksums, and privacy notes are published up front.
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.
