      As far as i can tell a full gui for systemd service files would be practically impossible. But a template ui would be sick, maybe something like an app autostart template could look like this:

      Program: 
      
      Launch options:
      
      When: early/normal/login/graphical-start
      
      Restart: never/once/always
      

      Just spitballing here though.

        This was added to the latest version. You can now quickly start a new service from the app.

        And the RestartSomethingInterval=0 option so systemd keeps restarting the program like an obedient machine it should be, not give up because it’s tired
