anymon

An ultra-fast, language-agnostic file watcher that runs anything on change, like nodemon but for every language, with reliable restarts of the whole process tree.

This package installs the native anymon binary for your platform (Linux glibc or musl, macOS, Windows; x64 and arm64).

Install

npm i -D anymon     # per project
npm i -g anymon     # globally (or pnpm add -g / yarn global add / bun add -g)

Use

npx anymon -e ts,tsx -- node --import tsx src/server.ts
npx anymon init     # create an Anymon.toml
npx anymon          # run the tasks in Anymon.toml

In package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "anymon -w src -- node src/index.js"
  }
}

While anymon runs, type rs + Enter to restart, s for status and q to quit.
