Introducing Candle
The Story
Candle - a new dev tool for local process management
About me Open Source Posts ← Back to posts October 3, 2026 Introducing Candle (AI usage: No AI was used in writing this post)
Candle is a development tool I built (with the help of AI coding agents) for managing local services during development.
It's a process manager like systemd , pm2 , supervisor , etc, but it's specifically designed for local development. So the usage is much simpler than other tools that are designed to manage services in production. It's similar to Foreman but makes some different decisions (listed below).
Overall it's designed to work really well with coding agents, worktrees, and humans too. Hopefully you find it useful too.
