Process Compose is a single-binary Go tool that schedules and orchestrates non-containerized local processes using a YAML config, with dependency ordering, health checks, and recovery policies. It offers both a TUI and CLI mode, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI assistant integration.

Use cases

• run multiple local dev services with startup dependencies without docker
• manage background processes with a terminal UI
• restart processes automatically when files change
• replace docker-compose for non-containerized apps
• schedule cron-like recurring processes
• orchestrate daemons and services with health checks
• control processes via a REST API or AI assistant

When to choose

• you want docker-compose-like orchestration without containers
• you need a single dependency-free binary to manage local processes
• you want a TUI to monitor, restart, and inspect processes
• you need dependency ordering, health checks, and recovery for local services

When to avoid

• you need full container orchestration with images, networks, and volumes
• you require production-grade cluster scheduling like Kubernetes
• your processes must run in isolated containerized environments
