Why lpm?

• Native macOS app — GUI with live terminal, config editor, notes, and theme support
• No Docker required — runs your services natively
• Auto-detects project setup — Rails, Next.js, Go, Django, Flask, Docker Compose
• Profiles for running service subsets
• Actions — one-shot commands like tests, migrations, and deploys, runnable from the Actions button
• Works with any stack — if it runs in a terminal, lpm can manage it
• CLI + App in sync — same features, same state, mix and match freely

AI Agent Skill

lpm includes an agent skill that lets your AI coding agent create and manage lpm configs for you. Install it via skills.sh:

npx skills add gug007/lpm

Then just tell your agent "set up lpm for this project" and it will analyze your codebase, discover services, and write the config.

See lpm-config/README.md for details.

CLI

Prefer the terminal? lpm also ships with a CLI that shares the same config and state as the desktop app.

See README-CLI.md for install instructions, commands, and configuration reference.
