Summon Your Daemons

A devilishly good process manager for developers

🔥

Raise the Dead

Start daemons only if they're not already running. No more duplicate processes haunting your system.

😈

Eternal Vigilance

Automatic restarts on failure with configurable retry limits. Your daemons will rise again.

Ready When Summoned

Smart ready checks via delay, output patterns, or HTTP endpoints. Know when your daemon is truly alive.

🏠

Shell Possession

Auto-start daemons when entering a project directory, auto-stop when leaving. Seamless possession.

Unholy Schedules

Cron-style scheduling for periodic tasks. Summon your daemons on a schedule from the underworld.

🔮

Scrying Portals

Peer into the abyss with a terminal TUI or web dashboard. Vim keybindings for the devoted, browser for the casual summoner.
