Local dev servers and AI debugging, handled.

Add a folder. Rig discovers every JavaScript and TypeScript project inside, detects the framework, assigns a port, and routes project.rig to the right process. The rig CLI gives any AI agent structured access to it all.

rig - zsh

Effortless dev servers

Stop juggling terminal tabs and clashing ports. Rig watches your folders, finds every project, and starts the right dev command on demand, with stable ports and clean, named .rig URLs.

Auto-discovery as you add and remove projects
Per-project port and Node version, stable across reboots
Start, stop, restart from the GUI, tray, or CLI

First-class AI debugging

The rig CLI emits raw JSON when piped, never ANSI noise. An agent can list projects, read live logs, restart a crashed server, and free a stuck port. It drives your whole dev environment on its own.

Structured JSON output, TTY-aware
rig logs --follow streams in real time
Installable skill so any agent learns the CLI

The app

A native window for your whole stack

This is the real Rig interface. Select a project, start and stop it, and watch the status and logs respond. Try it.

Features

Everything the local stack needs

Discovery, routing, process control, and health checks, all built into one tool that stays out of your way.

Automatic discovery

Point Rig at a folder. It watches for package.json and deno.json, finds every project inside, and keeps the list live as you add or remove them.

Framework detection

Next, Nest, Vite, Nuxt, Astro, Remix, CRA, Fresh and more, detected from your manifest, with the right dev command resolved per project.

.rig domains

Every project gets projectname.rig, served on port 80. An embedded DNS server on 5300 means zero conflict with anything already using port 53.

Reverse proxy

A built-in axum proxy routes hostnames to the right running port, with branded error pages when a project is stopped or still starting.

Process management

Start, stop, and restart dev servers on demand. Crashes are caught and surfaced; ports stay stable across restarts and reboots.

Live logs

Per-project stdout and stderr, captured and streamed. Tail them in the GUI or pipe them to an AI agent with rig logs --follow.

Per-project HTTPS

Flip the lock to serve a project over HTTPS with a trusted wildcard certificate. Off by default, on when you need it.

Runtime control

Pin a Node version per project from .nvmrc, engines, or Volta, and run on Node, Bun, or Deno without leaving the app.

Doctor

One command checks DNS, the proxy, port conflicts, the helper daemon, and your resolver file, then tells you exactly how to fix what's wrong.

The CLI

Built for humans and agents alike

At a terminal you get colour and alignment. Piped to a script or an AI, you get clean JSON and proper exit codes - no parsing ANSI escape sequences.

Compatibility

Detects what you already build with

Rig reads your manifest to identify the framework, runtime, and package manager - then resolves the correct dev command for each.

AI skill

Teach your agent to drive Rig

Install the Rig skill into Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent with one command. It learns the full CLI - so it can list projects, tail logs, restart servers, and diagnose port conflicts while it works.
