Pitchfork
Pitchfork is a "devilishly good" daemon/process manager for developers, written in Rust by
jdx (author of mise). It starts a background service only if it isn't
already running (no duplicate processes), auto-restarts on failure with backoff, resolves
dependency chains, supports ready checks/file-watching/cron, and can auto start/stop daemons as you
cd in and out of a project via a shell hook. Monitor through a terminal TUI or web dashboard, and
drive it from AI assistants through a built-in MCP server.
