Servy

Servy is a Windows application that lets you run any executable as a Windows service, with full control over configuration, monitoring, management and recovery, all via a clean graphical interface or CLI.

It supports Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11 and Windows Server editions, and is designed for developers, sysadmins, and IT professionals who need reliable background execution for applications without rewriting them as services.

Key Benefits

• Run any executable as a Windows service, whether it's Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, or any other app.
