One home for everything you run.

A resident tray hub for the apps and dev servers on your machine. See what's registered, see what's running and on which port, and launch each one inside a real terminal, right where you can watch it.

MoonPool's main window in the dark theme: a grouped, searchable sidebar of apps with live status on the left, and a running web app streaming its console output into the embedded terminal on the right.
Why it exists

The desktop-shortcut pile, retired.

Every project ends up with its own little launch script and a shortcut on the desktop. Nothing tells you what exists, what's already running, or which port it grabbed. MoonPool is the one place that does.

One hub

Everything you run, in one searchable list.

A single grouped, searchable sidebar driven by one JSON manifest. Desktop apps, web apps, static sites, and command-line tools all sit side by side, and the ones you use most float to the top.

MoonPool\'s sidebar: apps grouped into collapsible sections with a search box on top and a status dot beside each app.
Real terminal

Launch means launch, output and all.

Starting an app runs its real command in a real terminal, streamed to a tab with full color, build progress, and errors, exactly as if you had opened the console yourself. You can type back into it too.

An embedded MoonPool terminal tab streaming colored build output from a launched app.
Live status

Know what's up before you touch it.

MoonPool checks a web app by pinging its port and a desktop app by looking for its process, so the status is honest even for things you started somewhere else. No more guessing whether it's already running.

Clean control

Start, stop, and restart without the loose ends.

Stopping an app takes the whole process tree with it and frees the port behind it, so a restart actually restarts. When you close the window MoonPool tucks into the tray and keeps watch; a click brings it back.
