QuietKit — Windows fleet health for tiny offices

One dashboard showing health, updates, and backups for small teams with no IT staff

Problem

Small business owners with 5–30 Windows PCs and no dedicated IT person are stuck checking machines by hand: who hasn't updated Windows, whose disk is nearly full, which box still runs long-dead software. One owner posted that they manage roughly 15 machines and can't keep up, asking what peers actually use. Existing RMM tools target MSPs, are heavy to deploy, and price per seat — overkill for a small shop.

Solution

A lightweight Windows agent plus a web dashboard: the agent reports OS build, patch level, disk usage, installed software, and backup job results; the dashboard shows red/yellow/green per machine, lets you trigger Windows Update and disk cleanup remotely, and emails a weekly inspection report. No public IP needed — it connects out over a reverse tunnel.

Users

Owners or part-time admins at small firms, clinics, law offices, and retail stores running 5–30 Windows PCs

MVP

Windows-only agent and a single-page dashboard; collect only OS build, patches, disk, installed software, and Windows Backup status; red/yellow/green overview plus per-machine detail; weekly email digest; deploy locally/self-hosted with a one-line PowerShell install

Revenue

Per-device subscription (free up to 5 machines, then $2–3 per machine/month), or a one-time license plus annual updates; add a self-hosted license tier

Why now

Small teams increasingly run Windows without any IT headcount, while legacy RMM is built for MSPs and too heavy to adopt; a Go/Rust agent plus a simple backend is a two-to-three-week solo build, and local data storage is a real privacy selling point
