Overmind is a process manager for Procfile-based applications that runs multiple processes in a tmux session. It lets developers start, stop, and restart individual processes from a single terminal without the output-buffering problems of tools like foreman.

Use cases

  • run all processes from a Procfile in one terminal
  • restart a single process without restarting the whole stack
  • attach to a running process via tmux to interact with it
  • replace foreman to fix lagging and broken colored log output
  • let one process die without killing the others during local development

When to choose

  • you develop multi-process apps (web server, worker, asset builder) defined in a Procfile
  • you want tmux-based control over individual processes
  • foreman's output buffering and color loss frustrate you

When to avoid

  • you need production process management or supervision (use systemd, Docker, or Kubernetes)
  • you don't use tmux or Procfiles
  • you need a Windows-native tool
