Why ADFlowManager?

Everything PowerShell lacks, in a single native app.

Faster AD Management

Native .NET APIs with intelligent SQLite cache. Up to 10× faster than PowerShell cmdlets.

Modern Interface

Fluent Design dark theme powered by WPF-UI. Intuitive navigation, responsive layout.

Native Performance

Minimized PowerShell dependency — native .NET APIs handle the heavy lifting. Async/await throughout for a fully reactive UI.

Agent-Free Deployment

Push software packages to any domain PC over native SMB/RPC — no WinRM, no third-party agent required.

Privacy First

Zero telemetry. 100% local data processing. Your AD data never leaves your infrastructure.

Open Source

GPLv3 licensed, fully transparent code. Fork it, audit it, contribute to it.
