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
