At the moment, it supports Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS.\n\nProcfile is a simple format to specify types of processes your application provides (such as web application server, background queue process, front-end builder) and commands to run those processes. It can significantly simplify process management for developers and is used by popular Platforms-as-a-Service, such as Heroku and Deis. You can learn more about the `Procfile` format [here](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile).\n\nThere are some good Procfile-based process management tools, including [foreman](https://github.com/ddollar/foreman) by David Dollar, which started it all. The problem with most of those tools is that processes you want to manage start to think they are logging their output into a file, and that can lead to all sorts of problems: severe lagging, losing or breaking colored output. Tools can also add vanity information (unneeded timestamps in logs). Hivemind was created to fix those problems once and for all.\n\nSee this article for a good intro and all the juicy details! [Introducing\nOvermind and Hivemind](https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/introducing-overmind-and-hivemind)\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://evilmartians.com/?utm_source=hivemind\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://evilmartians.com/badges/sponsored-by-evil-martians.svg\" alt=\"Sponsored by Evil Martians\" width=\"236\" height=\"54\"\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## Enter Hivemind\n\nHivemind uses `pty` to capture process output. That fixes any problem with log clipping, delays, and TTY colors other process management tools may have.\n\n**If you would like a process management tool with a lot of features, including [tmux](https://tmux.github.io/) support, resta",
