About mprocs
mprocs brings a project's commands into one terminal interface. It runs multiple processes at once, shows the output of each in its own view, and lets you interact with each process individually.
The project is being continued under the new name dekit, which adds a client-server design similar to tmux. dekit has no release yet, so the published mprocs releases remain the version to use today.
Strengths
- Separate output view for each running command
- Interact with any process from one terminal
- Actively developed repository
Limitations
- Development has moved to the unreleased successor dekit
- Processes stop when the mprocs window closes
