I was thinking about working on a gtk app to do a few tasks on the system but then I found brut. And brut is pretty great. I can't believe there aren't more threads on it, unless I didn't find them on search.

Does anyone else on the forum use this program? It does have a dependency on sudo rather than doas. But other than that it's pretty legit. I am used to using sudo myself so I already had it installed and my user account has sudo permissions.

I never heard of it outside of aftershave until now.

The reason might be easy: experienced FreeBSD users know and use the commands to perform the tasks, they don't need a gui program.
100% agree. However, there are likely many users that aren't using a gui. To me, if I'm in a gui a gui tool can sometimes make a task a bit faster. I refuse to use a gui for a great many things. But for some things I prefer a tui or a gui. And I think, for me at least, this tool will be handy for a gui environment.
