Rig

What is Rig?

Rig is a Mac app that helps you run local development without juggling a bunch of terminal tabs. It starts your stack, keeps an eye on logs, and restarts crashed processes. You get one place to manage scripts, Procfiles, artisan sidecars, and databases, with ports, health checks, and merged logs all in view. It also works with AI tools through MCP, so clients like Cursor, Claude, and Codex can see what’s running and help control it. For teams, it adds optional cloud features like shared projects, device catalogs, encrypted backups, and private networking between Macs. The idea is simple: keep local dev organized, visible, and easy to recover when something breaks.
