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.
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.
- 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.
- Multi-select: checkboxes,
Ctrl/Shift-click ranges,Ctrl+A, header "select all". - Quick actions: Start, Stop, Restart selected services.
- Right-click menu: services.msc-style context menu on any row.
- Startup types: set selected services to Automatic, Manual, or Disabled.
- One-click Start all Auto: start every stopped Automatic service in the current view.
- 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 (nosc.exe/nssmshelling).

Build your own saved views by account substring or an explicit pick list
