⚡ Process Manager

Manage, monitor, and control long-running commands (dev servers, tunnels, background jobs) from a single interface. Define processes once, start/stop them with a click, view live logs with ANSI colors, track resource usage, and use the built-in PowerShell terminal to run ad-hoc commands that can be promoted into managed processes. Think PM2 or systemd, but with a native GUI.

🎯 Why?

Stop juggling multiple terminal windows or remembering pm2 commands. Define your dev servers, background workers, or tunnels once, then start/stop/monitor them from a clean UI. Perfect for developers running local microservices, Cloudflare tunnels, database instances, or any long-running CLI tools.

✨ Highlights

• ⚡ Process list with quick start/stop/restart actions
• 📡 Real-time stdout/stderr streaming with ANSI color rendering
• 📊 CPU / memory usage panel with uptime + PID metadata
• 🔁 Auto-restart and auto-start toggles per process
• 💾 Config save/load persistence
• 🗂️ Minimize-to-tray workflow with tray menu actions
• 🖥️ Integrated terminal pane (PowerShell-based) with:
  • 🕐 Command history
  • 📦 Per-command output blocks
  • ⏹️ Stop running command
  • 📁 cd session directory handling
  • ➕ "Add to processes" for commands you want to manage long-term

🚀 Quick Start

Install dependencies:

bun install

Run desktop app in development:

bun run tauri dev

Frontend-only dev server:

bun run dev

Build production web assets:

bun run build

Build production desktop app:

bun run tauri build

📖 Using the App

⚡ Manage processes

1. Click New Process in the sidebar.
2. Enter a name + command (+ optional working directory).
3. Use row actions to start/stop/restart.
4. Select a process to inspect logs and metrics in the right panel.

🖥️ Use the integrated terminal

1. Click the terminal button (>_) in the titlebar.
2. Run commands directly in the terminal panel.
3. Use cd to change terminal session working directory.
4. Stop an active command with the ⏹ stop button or Ctrl+C.
5. Click Add to processes to promote useful commands into the managed process list.

⚡ Terminal commands run through PowerShell.

🗃️ Data & Logs

• 💾 Process configs and logs are stored under your app data directory.
• 📜 Logs are persisted per-process and streamed live to the UI.

🗂️ Tray Behavior

• 🔽 Closing the window hides the app to tray.
• 📋 Tray menu supports show/hide/start all/stop all/quit.
• 🖱️ Left-click tray icon brings the main window back.

📜 Scripts

From package.json:

• bun run dev → ⚡ Vite dev server
• bun run build → 🔨 Type-check + production web build
• bun run preview → 👁️ Preview built web assets
• bun run tauri dev → 🚀 Run Tauri desktop app in dev mode
• bun run tauri build → 📦 Build release desktop bundle

🔧 Troubleshooting

⚡ Terminal command not found

• Verify the command exists in your PowerShell PATH:
  • Get-Command <tool-name>
• Restart the app after installing a new CLI tool.

📭 No logs in panel

• Confirm process status is Running.
• Check the command actually writes to stdout/stderr.

🗂️ Tray menu not appearing

• Right-click the tray icon for the context menu.
• Left-click is reserved to restore/focus the main window.
