## What it is
Hivemind is a Go-based process manager for Procfile-based applications that runs multiple processes (web servers, workers, asset watchers) concurrently. It uses pty to capture process output, avoiding log clipping, delays, and broken colored output common in other Procfile tools.

## Use cases
- run multiple processes from a Procfile locally
- replace foreman with better log output
- run rails server and sidekiq together in development
- manage web, worker, and asset processes with one command
- fix colored output and lagging logs in Procfile tools

## When to avoid
- you need tmux support, per-process restart/kill, or advanced configuration — use Overmind instead
- you need Windows support
- you need a production process supervisor rather than a development tool
