wyd

wyd? — what you doing?

See what your coding agents left running.

Coding agents spawn MCP servers, headless browsers, dev servers, workers, and databases.

ps tells you what is running. wyd tells you why — which session started it, in which project, and whether it's leftover.

Local, macOS and Linux. No account, no network, no telemetry.

https://wyd.sh

brew install oxyplay/tap/wyd
# or
cargo install wyd
wyd
wyd upgrade   # brew or cargo, matching the install

Each tagged release publishes the crate to crates.io and bumps Formula/wyd.rb in oxyplay/homebrew-tap automatically, so wyd upgrade stays current with no manual step. wyd upgrade still prints a hint if a formula bump is ever lagging.

Binaries: GitHub Releases. From a clone: cargo install --path .

OS daemons stay hidden. Desktop Chrome stays hidden. Agent-spawned Chromium does not.

Why wyd

	ps / Activity Monitor	Docker Desktop	wyd
Every process	yes	containers only	only dev runtime
Who started it	no	compose labels	agent → MCP → browser
Which project	no	sometimes	cwd / git root
Leftover?	no	you guess	scored, with a reason
Safe kill	you hope	stop/rm	PID + start time, y to confirm
Volumes	—	easy to nuke	unused ≠ garbage; D required

Built for people who run coding agents all day and then ask what did that session leave behind?

Runtime ownership

Beyond the live view, wyd tracks coding-agent runtime sessions — which resources a session spawned, keyed by boot_id + pid + start_time, so the provenance survives process re-parenting and Wyd restarts. A deterministic resolver attributes resources to a session with an explainable score when exact ancestry is gone.

• Sessions view in the TUI (top-level): agent · project · state · age · id, with a details panel.
• wyd why <pid> — which session owns a process, and the evidence.
• wyd --json sessions — recorded sessions as JSON.
• wyd serve — a local daemon over a Unix socket (wyd.sock, mode 0600, single-instance). Keeps provenance fresh and answers read-only queries; vendors can register sessions with session_start / session_end (their id maps to a Wyd session as an alias).
• wyd mcp — a Model Context Protocol server over stdio, so a coding agent can ask wyd for its sessions and who owns a PID.

MCP

wyd also speaks the Model Context Protocol over stdio, so a coding agent can ask the machine what it — or other agents — left running.

wyd mcp

Starts the local MCP server (read-only). It exposes two tools: list_sessions (recorded agent sessions) and explain (which session owns a process, by pid). No network, no account — the answers come from the local provenance store.

Registered in the MCP Registry:

• MCP Registry name: mcp-name: io.github.oxyplay/wyd

Keys

Key	Action
← → / h l	overview / list
↑ ↓ / j k	move
Tab	focus overview / list
backspace	go back (clear filter / project / section, never quits)
enter	details popup; on a project, pin that project
space	mark several
x / K	terminate / force kill (y confirms)
s	stop running Docker container (running ones sort first)
c	Docker clean (y; volumes need D)
P	prune unused anonymous volumes (confirm; named data kept)
o	open server URL from details (http://… shown only for a live socket)
p	projects
/	filter
r	refresh
?	help
esc	close popup, then clear filter / project, then quit
q	quit

Kill only signals the item’s own PIDs (re-checked by PID + start time). A named volume is never treated as garbage — only anonymous, unattached ones (P) are offered for pruning, with confirmation. The bottom hint line is context-aware: it shows the actions that apply to the currently selected row.

Scripts

Same snapshot as the TUI — useful after an agent finishes a task:

wyd --json leftovers
wyd --plain mcp
wyd --json project myapp
wyd --json sessions      # recorded agent sessions
wyd why <pid>            # which session owns a process, and the evidence
wyd serve                # local daemon: Unix-socket API + keeps provenance fresh
wyd mcp                  # MCP server over stdio (for coding agents)
wyd prune --dry-run      # list anonymous volumes that would be deleted
wyd prune                # confirm, then delete them

Filters: leftovers, mcp, agents, docker, project, sessions (JSON only).
