Procman – terminal-based process manager

Procman is a terminal-based process manager for applications that use Procfiles. It provides a unified dashboard for monitoring, controlling and interacting with multiple development processes.

The application can stream and search logs, display processes in grid or fullscreen layouts, and provide an interactive VT100-compatible terminal. It is designed for local development and can serve as a replacement for tools such as Foreman in Rails projects.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Automatically loads processes defined in a Procfile.
  • Starts, stops and restarts individual processes.
  • Streams process output in real time with ANSI colour support.
  • Searches logs and highlights matching text.
  • Filters output to display only relevant log lines.
  • Offers grid and fullscreen process views.
  • Provides VT100 terminal emulation for interactive processes and debuggers.
  • Displays resource information for running processes.
  • Supports keyboard navigation with arrow keys or Vim-style bindings.
