The upstream repository redirects from pvolok/mprocs to pvolok/dekit, but the README still describes the packaged tool as mprocs: it runs multiple commands in parallel, keeps each output separate, and lets the user switch to and interact with each process. The README positions it near parallel command runners, but with separate panes and terminal interaction deep enough to work inside programs such as vim. ### Project history The changelog records a 0.1.0 Rust rewrite on 2022-04-05 that compiled on Windows, followed by a fast build-out of developer-workflow features: CLI commands and environment variables in May 2022, YAML config parsing, remote control, named processes, cwd and stop settings, keymaps, mouse support, copy mode, npm script loading, and global/local configuration. The 2024 and 2025 entries added terminal parser work and input fixes; the 0.9.0 release in 2026 added Procfile support, quit-on-finish, process log configuration, an on-init command, OSC window-title handling, and a broad terminal/pty rewrite. ### How it is used In practice mprocs is used as a lightweight project cockpit for things like a web server, watcher, test runner, bundler, database, and editor helper. A user can pass commands directly, define them in mprocs.yaml, load package.json scripts, or load a Procfile, then restart, stop, rename, add, and inspect processes from the TUI or remote-control socket. Its own FAQ draws the boundary with tmux and screen: mprocs is aimed at finite project commands that end when mprocs exits, not long-lived detachable shell sessions. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for mprocs. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.config/mprocs/mprocs.yaml, ./mprocs.yaml - Windows: %APPDATA%\mprocs\mprocs.yaml, .\mprocs.yaml ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - mprocs: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/mp/mprocs/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - mprocs - 0.6.4-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: mprocs from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Run multiple commands in parallel | https://github.com/pvolok/mprocs - Scoop - main/mprocs: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/mprocs.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - pvolok.mprocs: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: pvolok.mprocs from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
