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
