Whether you wrote the code or an AI agent did, Rungeist shows every dev server and Docker container at a glance in your menu bar. Open, restart, or kill any of them without touching the terminal.

Your whole stack. One glance.
None of these questions are hard. They’re interruptions. Every check is a context switch, and every context switch costs attention, the most valuable resource a developer has.
Rungeist answers all of them in one glance, so checking your development environment is one click instead of six commands. Spend your attention on building.
Every dev server, every container, every project. One glance at the menu bar replaces the guessing.
Open, restart, or kill any server right where you see it. No lsof, no docker ps, no hunting PIDs.
No Terminal detours, no Docker Desktop, no context switches. Checking your stack stops being a task.
Your AI agent spins up a dev server and moves on. You never see it, but Rungeist does: the menu-bar icon lights up the moment an unfamiliar server starts listening, even with the panel closed.
macOS starts Ollama and friends with no project folder, so anything that groups by folder never sees them. Add the port once and :11434 sits in the list like any other server, alongside lm-studio, comfyui and the rest. Rungeist also knows when macOS is set to restart one, and tells you instead of pretending to stop it.
One click ends the whole npm run dev tree, every child process included: a graceful SIGTERM first, then Force if it won't budge. Your shell, your editor, your Claude Code session? Never touched.
Nothing else puts your dev servers in Notification Center: the same list, the same one-click open and kill, without even reaching for the menu bar.
Live CPU and memory, in real megabytes, per server. An energy badge flags anything running hot, and when two projects grab the same port, you see it in red.
A process shows up only if it's listening on a real port from a project folder in your home directory. No system noise, no editor helpers. Grouped by project, sorted six ways, and searchable.
Run docker compose up and the containers land right under the project that started them. Postgres, Redis, the lot. Same one-click stop, except Rungeist sends docker stop: only the container goes down, never Docker itself.
Open Rungeist from any app with a global shortcut: ⌘⌥P out of the box, or set your own in Settings. Then stay on the keys: ↑↓ to move, O to open, R to restart, K to kill. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
I didn't realize how often I switched back to Terminal just to restart a server until I installed Rungeist.
Three prototypes, a Storybook, and something Claude started without asking. I had no idea which port was which, until Rungeist listed them by project.
One shortcut, and I know what it is, which project owns it, and how long it's been running. Then I decide what to do with it.
