Run everything
Run everything from one place.
Rig reads your Procfile and your package.json scripts automatically and lists every task in one window. Start, stop and restart anything with a click. No commands to memorise.

One window for your entire local dev environment.
Rig by Rich Harrington Ltd (userig.app) is a native Mac app that runs, watches and manages every task in your project from a single clean interface. Stop juggling terminal tabs. Start actually building.
The problem
Your local setup is a mess of terminal tabs.
One for the client, one for the server, one for the worker, one for the database, and half of them are dead. Rig pulls all of it into one place.
Live logs
Live logs, all in view.
Every task streams its output into the same interface in real time. Watch your build, your API and your file watcher together, and see exactly which one broke the moment it happens.
Many projects
Built for people running lots of projects.
Whether you are a freelance developer, an agency or a software house, Rig keeps multiple projects in view at once. No more spinning up a new pile of terminals for every client.
Database · Coming
Database management, coming to the same window.
Manage your local Postgres and MySQL databases without leaving Rig. Spin one up with a single click using Homebrew or Docker, and open a full admin view when you need to get into the data.
Ports
Set your own ports.
Change the port your dev server runs on right from the app, so you are never fighting over 3000 again.
Native Mac
A real Mac app.
No global installs. No shell config. Download the .dmg, drag it to Applications, and open it. Rig looks and feels like it belongs on your Mac because it does.
AI · MCP connection
Link Cursor, Claude or Codex to the project you are actually running.
Rig exposes an MCP connection so your AI coder can see the same projects, scripts and status you do. Link Cursor for one project with a scoped token, or manage every connection from the Connections tab.
- Per-project AI coder link
- MCP on/off from the dashboard
- Scoped tokens, not a free-for-all
Also in the beta
Beyond start and stop.
Hand the broken setup to Cursor with context, instead of pasting logs by hand.
Jump to Finder, Cursor, Terminal or the browser from the project you have selected.
Share the local or network URL so you can test on a device without hunting for the IP.
Keep client and side projects organised when you are running more than one stack at once.
