What's Good

MIT. DarthSim/overmind. Go process manager for Procfile-based apps: starts each process in a tmux pane so you can attach, restart one process, and keep colored output. Source github.com/DarthSim/overmind. Hivemind is the lighter sister if tmux is overkill.

The Catch

Vs watchexec (file→command *watcher*) and Zellij (Rust terminal *workspace/layouts*): Overmind is the *Procfile supervisor on tmux*, not a file watcher and not a layout multiplexer. Needs tmux installed. Not a production process supervisor — Overmind is a dev-loop tool, not systemd.

Verdict

MIT Procfile+tmux. Free forever; run the graph in panes, not a concatenated log.
