Runyard 2026.05.0

First public release

Runyard is a macOS menu bar app that orchestrates your local development environment. Start, stop, and monitor all your services (backends, frontends, databases, proxies) from a single dropdown. No more juggling terminal tabs.

Highlights

• One-click orchestration: Start your entire stack with a single click. Sequential startup with dependency management ensures services launch in the right order.
• Health monitoring: HTTP and TCP health checks with real-time status tracking. Standalone health checks get a 20-bar latency sparkline showing recent polls at a glance.
• Card-dashboard popover: Every tool is a card with a status pill, action chips, and a footer button-bar. Cards collapse individually, and a single Collapse all / Expand all button toggles them in bulk.
• Flexible configuration: Define services, shortcuts, groups, and health checks in a simple JSON config. Organize tools in hierarchical menus that match how you think about your stack.
• Custom actions: Run shell commands, open URLs, execute AppleScripts, or reveal files. All from contextual menu actions attached to each tool.
• Keep the Mac awake: Services can hold sleep off while they run (keepSystemAwake: true), useful for long builds, dev servers, or background workers. A manual toggle in the popover does the same on demand, with an optional auto-off timer.
• Native and lightweight: Pure Swift with AppKit and SwiftUI. No Electron, no web views. Lives in your menu bar with zero dock clutter and minimal resource usage.
• Free tier or Unlimited Tools: Start free for small setups. A one-time Unlimited Tools purchase lifts every cap. Yours forever, no subscription.
