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. Workbench pulls all of it into one place.

01

Run everything

Run everything from one place.

Workbench 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.

02

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.

03

Many projects

Built for people running lots of projects.

Whether you are a freelance developer, an agency or a software house, Workbench keeps multiple projects in view at once. No more spinning up a new pile of terminals for every client.

04

Database · Coming

Database management, coming to the same window.

Manage your local Postgres and MySQL databases without leaving Workbench. 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.

05

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.

06

Native Mac

A real Mac app.

No global installs. No shell config. Download the .dmg, drag it to Applications, and open it. Workbench looks and feels like it belongs on your Mac because it does.

Download
