lpm — Switch between projects and terminals in seconds

Start, stop, and duplicate your dev projects in one click. Run Claude Code, Codex, and other AI agents side by side on the same codebase.

---

Download lpm for macOS, Windows, and Linux

lpm is a free desktop app that runs your dev servers and AI coding agents in one window, so you stop juggling terminals.

• Start every service in a project with one click
• Run Claude Code, Codex, and other agents in the built-in terminal
• Give each agent its own copy of the project, so agents don't get in each other's way
• See which agent needs you
• Switch projects without stopping what's running
• Check on your agents from your iPhone with lpm Link

Install

Download lpm from lpm.cx:

• macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel): open the .dmg and drag lpm to Applications
• Windows 11 (x64, beta): run the installer. Needs Git for Windows
• Linux (x86-64, beta): .deb, .rpm, or AppImage. Needs Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, or another distro with glibc 2.35+

On your iPhone, get lpm Link from the App Store.

See it in action

Add a project — pick a folder or clone a repo, and lpm finds its services



Start a project — one click, live terminal output for every service



Run AI agents alongside your services — Claude Code, Codex, or any agent in the same workspace



Duplicate a project — run an agent in each copy, in parallel, no conflicts



Fast switching — start, stop, and jump between projects in seconds



Split terminals — arrange services and agents side-by-side



Control it from your iPhone — pair lpm Link, then start services and talk to agents on your Mac

Why lpm?

• Finds your services for you: Node, Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, PHP, Java, .NET, Docker Compose, and more
• No Docker required: your services run natively
• Actions: one-click buttons for tests, migrations, and deploys
• Profiles: start only the services you need
• Works with any stack: if it runs in a terminal, lpm can run it

AI agent skills

Let your AI agent set up and control lpm for you:

npx skills add gug007/lpm

Then tell your agent "set up lpm for this project".

• lpm-config writes and edits project config
• lpm-cli starts and stops projects, reads logs, and makes copies (uses the lpm command, which you install from the app's Settings)
• lpm-memory saves work notes, so another agent can pick up where the last one left off
