This paper introduces CEopt (https://ceopt.org), a MATLAB tool leveraging the Cross-Entropy method for non-convex optimization. Due to the relative simplicity of the algorithm, it provides a kind of transparent ``gray-box'' optimization solver, with intuitive control parameters. Unique in its approach, CEopt effectively handles both equality and inequality constraints using an augmented Lagrangian method, offering robustness and scalability for moderately sized complex problems. Through select case studies, the package's applicability and effectiveness in various optimization scenarios are showcased, marking CEopt as a practical addition to optimization research and application toolsets.
