About:
LaunchRocket is a macOS System Preferences pane that provides a graphical interface for managing services installed via Homebrew. It allows users to start, stop, restart, and configure the launch behavior of services like databases and web servers without using terminal commands. Its main value is simplifying service management for developers who use Homebrew on macOS.
Key Features:
  • Graphical management of Homebrew services
  • Start, stop, and restart services from System Preferences
  • Configure services to launch at login
  • View service status and logs
  • Integrates with standard macOS launchd system
Use Cases:
  • Managing local development servers (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis) without CLI
  • Simplifying service lifecycle management for developers new to Homebrew
  • Providing a visual overview of all running Homebrew services
Alternatives:
  • homebrew-services – Official Homebrew command-line tool for service management; LaunchRocket provides a GUI alternative.
