Description
Pitchfork is a CLI for managing daemons with a focus on developer experience.
- Start services once - Only start daemons if they have not already been started
- Auto start/stop - Shell hook starts daemons when entering a project directory, stops when leaving
- Ready checks - Delay, output regex, HTTP endpoint, TCP port, or custom command
- Dependency management - Topological start ordering with parallel execution
- File watching - Auto-restart daemons when source files change
- Cron scheduling - Schedule recurring tasks with configurable retrigger modes
- Lifecycle hooks - Run commands on ready, fail, retry, stop, and exit events
- Resource limits - Enforce memory and CPU limits per daemon
- TUI & Web UI - Interactive terminal dashboard and browser-based interface
- MCP server - Expose daemon management to AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
- Container mode - Run as PID 1 with zombie reaping and signal Forwarding
