Lightweight scheduler and orchestrator for managing background processes without containers. Define workflows in YAML, control startup order, health checks, and dependencies with an intuitive TUI interface.

A lightweight process scheduler and orchestrator designed for managing non-containerized applications on servers, IoT devices, and VPSes. Unlike container-based solutions, it requires no Docker, volume definitions, or container registries—just a single Go binary with zero dependencies.

Define your entire workflow in a simple process-compose.yaml file using familiar YAML syntax, then manage everything through an intuitive Terminal User Interface (TUI) or command-line interface. The tool handles all the complexity of process orchestration behind the scenes.

Key capabilities include:

Process execution with parallel and serial execution modes
Dependency management with configurable startup order and completion conditions
Recovery policies for automatic process restart on failure
Health checks including liveness and readiness probes
Environment variables with global and per-process configuration
Flexible logging with per-process or centralized log files
REST API with optional token authentication for programmatic control
Scheduled processes using cron and interval-based triggers
Dependency graph visualization to understand process relationships
Multi-replica support for running multiple instances of a process
Interactive processes and foreground execution modes
Configuration hot-reload for on-the-fly updates without restarts

Perfect for development environments, microservice orchestration without containers, and scenarios where you need reliable process management without the overhead of containerization. The REST API and MCP Server integration enable integration with external tools and AI assistants.
