What It Is
run.dev is a single Rust binary that replaces the entire local development environment stack: process management, reverse proxy, SSL certificates, domain routing, and crash diagnosis — all from one TUI dashboard with zero configuration files.
It manages native processes directly on the host machine. No containers. No virtualization. No Docker daemon. Services run exactly as they would in a terminal, but with automatic HTTPS domains, resource monitoring, and AI-powered error handling.
What Problems It Solves
| Problem | How run.dev solves it |
|---|---|
| Opening multiple terminal tabs to start services | One dashboard manages all services across all projects |
| Remembering which port maps to which service | Automatic local domains: api.myapp.local instead of localhost:4000 |
Manually editing /etc/hosts | Manages hosts entries automatically via a privileged helper |
| Setting up local SSL certificates | Zero-config SSL via mkcert (CA-trusted) or rcgen (self-signed fallback) |
| Writing nginx/Traefik/Caddy reverse proxy configs | Built-in SNI-based HTTPS reverse proxy, hot-updatable, no config files |
| "Address already in use" port conflicts | Detects and kills orphan processes on occupied ports |
| Figuring out why a service crashed from raw stderr | AI crash diagnosis via Claude reads logs and explains what went wrong |
| Docker Compose eating RAM for local dev | Native process management with zero overhead |
| Remembering start commands for different frameworks | Smart scanning detects package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc. |
| Losing track of service health across projects | Live CPU/memory stats per service, mood system for aggregate health |
