Lan Play GUI lets you manage your own list of servers: add, delete, edit, and refresh them, as well as being able to see which are online, and how many players there are. On top of this, you're able to see the server version, and of course launch it with lan-play without having to type out a command.

It is currently available for Win32, Win64, Linux, raspberry PI and Mac OSX.
