Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Arun, creator of Runara.
As modern developers, we frequently juggle 5 to 15 concurrent services across frontend apps (Next.js, Vite), backend APIs (FastAPI, Express), databases, workers, and background tools running inside WSL 2 Linux distributions.
Managing them across scattered terminal tabs often leads to:
- "Which process is locking port 3000?"
- Accidentally terminating parent shells or IDE windows
- Blindly hunting orphaned background processes in WSL
I built Runara as a high-performance, native Windows desktop control center to bring complete visibility and one-click orchestration to local dev environments.
Key features:
⚡ Sub-millisecond socket discovery via native Win32 IP Helper kernel API
🐧 Native WSL 2 multi-distro discovery (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch)
🛡️ 7-signal safety gates with ancestor protection (never kills parent shells or IDEs)
🚀 Multi-service project orchestration (desired-state sequential startup & reverse teardown)
📜 Real-time service log streaming with bounded ring buffers and ANSI stripping
🎨 High-contrast Dark (#101010) & Light (#F9F9F9) themes with zero-flash startup
Runara is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license, built with Tauri 2, Rust, and React 19.
I'd love your feedback, feature suggestions, and thoughts!
