congregation

Run multiple tasks in parallel with beautiful, grouped output. Inspired by bun filter and concurrently.

Features

• Beautiful grouped layout with collapsible tasks
• Interactive TUI with vim-like keybindings
• Kill individual tasks or all at once
• Automatic task restart with configurable delay (-r)
• Customizable task colors and headers
• Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Installation

Congregation can be installed using Cargo:

cargo install congregation

Usage

To get started, run a simple task by using congregation run:

congregation run 'echo hello'

You can run multiple tasks simultaneously by adding another run keyword:

congregation run 'echo task 1' run 'echo task 2'

You may also add flags such as -d, -n, -c to customize the working directory, task name, and name color respectively:

congregation \
run 'bun dev' -d frontend -r \
run 'go run .' -n server -c ff0000 -r 5

By default a task runs once and stops. Adding -r keeps the task restarting whenever it exits with a 3 second delay between attempts. You can change that delay by providing a number, so -r 0 restarts it immediately.
