Monu is an open-source macOS menu bar application that launches configured processes on startup and automatically restarts them if they crash. It is built on Electron and the 'mon' process monitor, configured via a JSON file.
Use cases
- keep local dev servers running and auto-restart them on crash
- run background processes on my mac from the menu bar
- supervise multiple node processes with automatic restarts
- launch a set of commands automatically when my mac starts
- get logs and pid files for managed processes on macOS
When to choose
- you want a simple GUI menubar process supervisor on macOS
- you need automatic restart of crashed local processes with minimal setup
- you prefer JSON-configured process management without launchd plist editing
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade or actively maintained supervisor
- you are on Linux or Windows since it is macOS-only
- you need features beyond basic start/restart such as health checks or clustering
