Automatically keep important macOS applications running using a lightweight LaunchAgent automation tool.
Keep Alive LaunchAgent for Apps is a lightweight macOS automation package designed to ensure that critical applications remain running at all times. Using Apple's built-in LaunchAgent system, this tool automatically monitors selected applications and relaunches them if they unexpectedly close or crash.
This is especially useful for background tools, automation utilities, monitoring software, and developer environments that must remain active continuously. Instead of manually restarting applications, the LaunchAgent configuration handles monitoring and automatic relaunching.
The included shell helper script works together with the LaunchAgent configuration file to detect inactive applications and restart them instantly. The installer package makes setup simple, while the troubleshooting guide helps users configure custom monitoring rules.
