LaunchRocket is a macOS System Preferences pane for managing launchd services, primarily those installed via Homebrew. It provides start/stop controls, status indicators, and the option to run services as root.
Use cases
- manage homebrew services on mac
- start and stop launchd services with a gui
- run dnsmasq or nginx as root on macos
- view status of background services on mac
- replace brew services command line with a gui
When to choose
- you use Homebrew services on macOS and want a graphical manager
- you need to toggle services as root without memorizing launchctl commands
When to avoid
- you are on a modern macOS version, as the project has not been updated since 2018
- you prefer command-line tools like brew services
- you need Gatekeeper-signed software
