D2OL Daddy D2OL Daddy was a Graphical User Interface that sat in the user's Windows tray and monitored the D2OL and CommunityTSC clients to make sure their processes were running at the lowest possibly priority. "This should greatly reduce and in many cases entirely eliminate the choppy/slow response from other software while D2OL/TSC is running on your machine. It will even monitor and control multiple copies of D2OL/TSC running on the same machine."

Version 1.0 of the client was available as of September 10, 2004.

MD5CRK GUI MD5CRK GUI, written by Jeff Gilchrist, provided a Windows graphical interface for the MD5CRK client.

Version 0.2 of the client was available as of June 17, 2004.

Genome Spy Genome Spy monitored and analyzed a nearly unlimited number of Genome@Home clients in one application window. It was written in Visual Basic 6 and was only available for the Win32 platform. Version 0.98.32 was available as of January 12, 2002.

  CPH by Chris Harper was a small, simple, and fast Win98 application which monitored a user's Genome@Home client. It provided a lot of information about the user's current and cached work units, estimated work unit completion time, and the user's project stats. It also started and stopped the user's Genome@Home client. Read about the client's features and usage in an online help file.

Version 0.94b of the client is available as of January 28, 2002.

ECC2-109 GUI ECC2-109 GUI provided a graphical way for Windows users to start, stop, and run the ECC2-109 official client software or the ecc2109c replacement client software. It showed the user how many distinguished points he or she had found and how fast the distinguished points were being found, and displayed benchmarking information about the user's system.

The ECC2-109 or ecc2109c client was run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so the user could still watch the client window directly when it was running.

Version 0.91 of the tool was available as of June 1, 2003.

ECC2-109 GUI ECC2-109 GUI provided a graphical way for Windows users to view statistics from multiple instances of the ECC2-109 client software. It showed the user how many distinguished points each instance had found and how many points were being tested per second, and it allowed the user to start and stop remote instances and to edit the .cfg file via the GUI.

The ECC2-109 client was run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so the user could still watch the client window directly when it was running.

Version 0.2 of the tool was available as of November 20, 2002.

FlyGUI FlyGUI, written by Peter Rheinhold, provided a graphical way for Windows users to view statistics from a single instance of the ECC2-109 client software. It showed the user how many distinguished points the client has found and how many points were being tested per second, and it allowed the user to start and stop the client via the GUI. It was also skinnable, so the user could create a customized look for it.

Version 0.61 of the tool was available as of February 4, 2003.

  ecc2109c, written by SWfreak, was a replacement command-line client for Windows users of the official ECC2-109 command-line client. It implemented many features requested by project participants. Jeff Gilchrist's ECC2-109 GUI tool could be used with this client.

Version 1.1a of the client was available as of July 15, 2003.

  ECCp-109 Monitor by Stuart Woodcock allowed the user to monitor the stats of multiple ECCp-109 clients on Windows machines. The user could also access his or her stats remotely from the monitor via telnet.
  Popular Power Background let Mac users run the Popular Power client in background while they used their computers. Version 1.1.1 was available on March 11, 2001. This version was able to find the location of Popular Power on the user's system and allowed the user to view its source code.
  Golem Runner let Windows users run the Golem@Home screensaver in the background while doing other tasks.

GolemBoost let Windows users run the Golem@Home screensaver in the background while doing other tasks.

KDFold KDFold monitored up to 10,000 Folding@Home, Genome@Home, Distributed Folding and Find-a-Drug clients. It was available as an executable or source code for Linux and Windows, and it was customizable with auto-sizeable skins. All skinned versions had a rollup button on them in the title bar: the button was different for each skin.
