Products & Services
Hosted MCP hub plus an open-source agent, installer and protocol that let Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients manage a Linux, macOS or Windows fleet. It provides deny-by-default command and filesystem allowlists, structured edits, service management, file upload, multi-host routing and auditability without inbound ports.
Open-source instant file-drop service: upload a file and receive a temporary public URL, with no account, automatic expiry and optional one-shot mode.
Web JSON parser with syntax highlighting and the ability to share JSON by URL.
Educational courses and original material for Android development with Kotlin.
Market Position
SentinelX positions itself as a safer alternative to handing an LLM an unrestricted shell or relying on ordinary SSH workflows: the allowlist is the trust boundary, filesystem access is scoped by path, operations are auditable, and the agent makes only an outbound connection. Its open-source agent/installer/protocol and hosted multi-host hub distinguish it from single-host or self-managed MCP server approaches, while its other products compete as focused lightweight alternatives in file sharing, Android tooling and utility apps.

Founding Story
Pensa Software began as Carlos Torres Pensa's personal vehicle for building his own infrastructure, mobile apps and web tools alongside his professional work. The stated initial vision was modest and community-oriented: solve real problems with useful code, publish projects openly when possible, and make the resulting tools available to others; PensaDOS is the GitHub home for the open-source side.
