Apparently it's also a popular name for developer tools. https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/

Good idea. You could track the status of this feature at https://gitlab.com/marathono/marathono/issues/9

Agree on the logo part. Could you tell me why you think the name is bad?

Well, if charging you money makes you feels better, I can set something up for you to pay ;)

What do think would be a place to show "the last line"? Or would [1] be more useful for your use case? If not, would you mind creating a new issue?

Interesting. Initially I chose to use helper tool to run sudo commands. After wrapping all those poorly-documented Authorization/ServiceManagement/XPC C APIs into Swift 3, I was like, sh*t, lemme just use askpass. Also, many of those APIs are deprecated in newer version of macOS and it's unclear that when Apple will remove them. That said, I can see the HUGE benefits of using launchd under the hood.

Hmm..I'm also using 10.11 with the dark theme. Does the app on your machine look very different from what I show in the second screenshot at http://www.marathono.com/? If it does, please consider reporting a bug thru the Help menu of the app.

lol..not a designer. I just put together some hand-drawing over the weekend. Will probably redesign the icon to make it a more serious app..

The "Show Output" menu of Marathono opens a Terminal/iTerm tab to tail the output. Currently Marathono is designed for start-and-forget kind of processes - outputs are for occasional debugging purpose only.

The "may start charging for it" piece is mostly for stopping people from asking me to open source the app. If I do start charging money, it will probably be at the price of a burger.
I'm the developer of PSequel (a popular PostgreSQL client, http://www.psequel.com/) and it has been free since it came out two years ago. I got people asking for open sourcing it almost every single day. Many people assume free == open source.

Exactly. And other convenient features like termination notification and file system monitoring.

Correct me if I'm wrong, "brew services" work for launchd services installed with homebrew only. But Marathono allows you to run any arbitrary commands.

Just released a new version with SSL support. Please try it out.
