Purpose

This is a native macOS desktop application designed to manage local development environments. It allows developers to run, duplicate, and switch between projects seamlessly, specifically optimized for running parallel AI coding agents (like Claude Code and Codex) on a single codebase without context switching.

Security Assessment

The overall risk is rated as Medium. The tool inherently executes shell commands, as it acts as a terminal emulator and project manager for local services and AI agents. The automated rule-based scan did not find any hardcoded secrets, and the application does not request any explicitly dangerous system permissions.

However, a code scan flagged a recursive force deletion command (`rm -rf`) inside the GitHub release workflow. While this is common in automation scripts for cleaning up build directories before packaging a release, it always warrants slight caution. Additionally, the tool requires downloading a pre-built `.dmg` file directly from their website rather than installing it via a verified package manager, which limits the ability to audit the exact code being run locally.

Quality Assessment

The project appears to be actively maintained, with repository pushes occurring as recently as today. Despite this active development, it currently suffers from low community visibility, having only 5 GitHub stars. This means it has not been broadly vetted by a large user base. Furthermore, the repository lacks a defined open-source license. Without a license, the code is technically proprietary, and users do not have formal legal permission to use, modify, or distribute it.

Verdict

Use with caution: the active development is promising, but low community trust, a missing software license, and pre-compiled binaries from an external website mean you should proceed carefully.

  • Start and stop your entire project with a single click
  • Build fast with AI coding agents
  • The best terminal for AI agents like Claude Code and Codex
  • Duplicate your project instantly to build features in parallel —
    run multiple agents on the same codebase without conflicts
  • A single workspace for all your services, terminals, and agents
  • Switch between projects without losing context or running processes
  • Keep long-running tasks alive across sessions

Install

Download lpm from lpm.cx, open the .dmg, and drag lpm to Applications.

Supports macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel).

Why lpm?

  • Native macOS app — GUI with live terminal, config editor, notes, and theme support
  • No Docker required — runs your services natively
  • Auto-detects project setup — Rails, Next.js, Go, Django, Flask, Docker Compose
  • Profiles for running service subsets
  • Actions — one-shot commands like tests, migrations, and deploys, runnable from the Actions button
  • Works with any stack — if it runs in a terminal, lpm can manage it
  • CLI + App in sync — same features, same state, mix and match freely

AI Agent Skill

lpm includes an agent skill that lets your AI coding agent create and manage lpm configs for you. Install it via skills.sh:

npx skills add gug007/lpm

Then just tell your agent "set up lpm for this project" and it will analyze your codebase, discover services, and write the config.

See lpm-config/README.md for details.

CLI

Prefer the terminal? lpm also ships with a CLI that shares the same config and state as the desktop app.

See README-CLI.md for install instructions, commands, and configuration reference.
