Versions:
Servy is a Windows utility that converts any executable into a native Windows service, giving administrators the same granular control normally reserved for services written specifically for the platform. Published by Akram El Assas and currently at version 7.3, the application has evolved through 63 public releases and positions itself as a full-featured alternative to NSSM, WinSW, and FireDaemon Pro. A digitally signed codebase—certified through the SignPath Foundation—guarantees that every binary and installer is tamper-evident, addressing enterprise security policies. Once an arbitrary program is wrapped, operators can define its working directory, startup type, process priority, logging behavior, health-check endpoints, environment variables, and service dependencies; pre-launch, post-launch, pre-stop, and post-stop hooks can also be injected for complex orchestration scenarios. Interaction is possible through three complementary interfaces: a desktop GUI for point-and-click configuration, a CLI for batch operations, and a PowerShell module that slots cleanly into CI/CD pipelines. The optional Servy Manager component supplies a real-time dashboard that lists every service created with the tool, overlays live CPU and RAM graphs, streams stdout/stderr output, and renders a dependency tree with color-coded status indicators, simplifying large-scale supervision. Typical use cases range from turning Node.js, Python, or Go background processes into always-on services on developer laptops to deploying proprietary business daemons on headless server farms where automatic restart, logging, and health monitoring are mandatory. The software belongs to the System Utilities / Launchers & Shutdown category and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
