"github_readme_excerpt": "\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/logo.png?raw=true\" width=\"128\"\u003e\n\n# Command Pad\n\nCommand Pad is a handy GUI application for running your command line tasks.\nIt helps to start and stop a command line tools easily and you can also monitor the output.\n\nYou can learn more about it by the review from @softpedia: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/Command-Pad.shtml\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/command-pad.gif?raw=true\" width=\"600\"\u003e\n\n# Downloads\nVersion 0.1.2 Released at 2018-3-6:\n* MacOS: [Command Pad-0.1.2.dmg](https://github.com/supnate/command-pad/releases/download/v0.1.2/Command.Pad-0.1.2.dmg)\n* Windows: coming soon...\n\n\nVersion 0.1.1 Released at 2016-10-26:\n* MacOS: [Command Pad-0.1.1.dmg](https://github.com/supnate/command-pad/releases/download/v0.1.1/Command.Pad-0.1.1.dmg)\n* Windows: [Command.Pad.Setup.0.1.1.zip](https://github.com/supnate/command-pad/releases/download/v0.1.1/Command.Pad.Setup.0.1.1.zip)\n\n# Motivation\nFor the modern web development, it usually needs several terminals opened for just running various dev servers, for example below is my terminal typically looks like:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/terminal.png?raw=true\" width=\"600\"\u003e\n\nManaging them is frustrating. It\u0027s not intuitive which service you need is running and which has stopped unexpectly. But the useful terminals which need interactions often collapse into the dropdown menu.\n\nSo I created this little tool to manage all of my frequently used command line programs. It looks like:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/pic1.png?raw=true\" width=\"360\"\u003e\n\nIt helps to manage command line tools in one central place with intuitive UI.\n\n# Use cases\nBesides running dev servers, Command Pad is also useful for:\n\n1. Running building/testing scripts. You can be prompted when the script is finished.\n2. Launch command line GUI apps like JMeter.\n3. ...\n\n# More screenshots\nIntuitive UI to add a command:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/pic2.png?raw=true\" width=\"360\"\u003e\n\nColorful output:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/images/pic3.png?raw=true\" width=\"360\"\u003e\n\nAlert you whe",
