Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Arun, creator of Runara. As modern developers, we frequently juggle 5 to 15 concurrent services across frontend apps (Next.js, Vite), backend APIs (FastAPI, Express), databases, workers, and background tools running inside WSL 2 Linux distributions. Managing them across scattered terminal tabs often leads to: - "Which process is locking port 3000?" - Accidentally terminating parent shells or IDE windows - Blindly hunting orphaned background processes in WSL I built Runara as a high-performance, native Windows desktop control center to bring complete visibility and one-click orchestration to local dev environments. Key features: ⚡ Sub-millisecond socket discovery via native Win32 IP Helper kernel API 🐧 Native WSL 2 multi-distro discovery (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch) 🛡️ 7-signal safety gates with ancestor protection (never kills parent shells or IDEs) 🚀 Multi-service project orchestration (desired-state sequential startup & reverse teardown) 📜 Real-time service log streaming with bounded ring buffers and ANSI stripping 🎨 High-contrast Dark (#101010) & Light (#F9F9F9) themes with zero-flash startup Runara is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license, built with Tauri 2, Rust, and React 19. I'd love your feedback, feature suggestions, and thoughts! GitHub:
