Deploy PowerShell scripts to hundreds of machines. Watch them run in real time.

What is Scriptographer?

A deployment tool for Windows domain admins who need to push PowerShell scripts to many machines at once. Built-in Monaco editor, real-time execution logs, three execution methods, and a UI that doesn't freeze when you're hitting 200 targets.

Built with Electron + React + TypeScript. Windows only (PSRemoting, PsExec, and WinRM are Windows-native).

Features

Deployment Engine Multi-target execution — deploy to hundreds of machines simultaneously PSRemoting — standard WinRM-based execution (recommended) Copy-First — copies scripts locally before running (restrictive environments) PsExec — Sysinternals high-privilege execution (legacy) Timeout & cancellation — full execution control	Script Management Monaco editor — PowerShell syntax highlighting, word wrap, shortcuts Categories — organize scripts into folders with drag-and-drop Search & tags — find scripts instantly Target groups — save and reuse lists of target computers Credential support — optional auth for remote execution
Real-Time Feedback Live logging — color-coded status per target (success, error, warning) Execution metrics — success/failure counts per deployment Full history — searchable execution history with log retention Log export — export results to text files	UI & Themes 4 themes — Dark, Light, Cyberpunk, Ocean Responsive layout — collapsible sidebar and panels Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+D deploy, Ctrl+F search Non-blocking UI — interface stays responsive during deployments
