The BOINC client alone lacks quite a few desirable features. Many volunteer programmers have developed add-ons or stand alone applets to perform one-off maintenance tasks or track supplemental information.
One of the more popular [free] addons is BOINCview by Amanheis. It is offering a single interface multi-device manager.

Warning[]
These tools are not always consistently maintained and are not in any way or form endorsed. They may work with older client versions, but not necessarily newer. Tools that make changes should be used with caution. Best is to stop the client completely and make a full backup before running these tools.
