Servy

Servy is a Windows tool that lets you run any executable as a Windows service, with full control over configuration, monitoring, management and recovery, all via a clean graphical interface or CLI.

It supports Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11 and Windows Server editions, and is designed for developers, sysadmins, and IT professionals who need reliable background execution for applications without rewriting them as services.
