Why we built this
Starting servers, checking logs, restarting, tailing — as coders, we do this all day.
We thought the tooling for it could at least look good.
Local dev servers, prod log tailing, Docker, Cargo, monorepo workspace scripts. It doesn't matter what you run —devglow handles it from one place. Command-centric, not framework-specific.
And with MCP, your AI agents manage processes directly — no more spawning rogue servers on random ports.
"Simple, straightforward, and aesthetically very pleasing. Your design philosophy is top level."

"I have 3 Hugo servers running locally. Does devglow help me monitor and stop any of them at any time?"
Yes — tested and confirmed.
