Overmind for Development

Overmind is a tmux-based process manager. Key advantage over Foreman: daemon mode, individual process restart, and interactive debugging via overmind connect.

Requires tmux (installed automatically by brew install overmind on macOS).

Setup Checklist

Procfile.dev at project root — one service per line (name: command)
bin/dev — bash wrapper with subcommands (start, stop, restart, status, logs, help)
.overmind.env — socket path + recommended settings
tmp/.keep — tracked by git; .gitignore has /tmp/* + !/tmp/.keep
