Features
Start your entire stack with a single click. Sequential startup with dependency management ensures services launch in the right order.
HTTP-based health checks with real-time status tracking. Know instantly when a service is running, starting, stopped, or in error.
Define services, shortcuts, and groups in a simple JSON config. Organize tools in hierarchical menus that match how you think about your stack.
Run shell commands, open URLs, execute AppleScripts, or reveal files, all from contextual menu actions attached to each tool.
Pure Swift and AppKit. No Electron, no web views. Lives in your menu bar with zero dock clutter and minimal resource usage.
Built-in caffeinate integration keeps macOS from sleeping while your stack runs. Toggle it manually with timed sessions, or bind sleep prevention to specific services and health checks.
