Blackglass Tools

Free utilities for Linux fleets and cloud accounts

Pre-scan planning tools you can run in the browser — no signup, no credentials. They give you a defensible starting point; real scans, approvals, and history live in Blackglass and Charon.

Cloud Waste Estimator

Pre-scan planning tool for cloud waste — estimate idle compute, ghost volumes, and old snapshots from rough counts. Entirely client-side, no credentials.

  • Inputs: rough counts per provider (DO, AWS, GCP).
  • Outputs: monthly waste range with a low/medium/high band.
  • Includes a downloadable cleanup checklist.

How these fit with the product

These are pre-scan planning tools — same mental model as Blackglass and Charon, with rough self-reported inputs instead of live scans. They never request credentials, hostnames, or live resource identifiers. You get a defensible starting point in a few minutes, without signup.

When you’re ready for the real thing, there’s a clear path:

  1. Free estimator here on `/tools` — no signup.
  2. Optional emailed report from any tool that supports it.
  3. Sample Blackglass workspace — explore a fully populated console without connecting anything.
  4. Real scans in Blackglass and Charon, with encrypted credentials, signed webhooks, and approval-gated cleanup. Trust details live in the security overview.
