Servy

Servy is a free, open-source utility for Windows. It allows users to run any application as a native Windows Service. This makes it relevant to tasks where an application needs to operate through the Windows service model instead of being launched only as a regular desktop process.

Servy is intended for Windows users who need to place an application within that service framework. Its purpose is focused on connecting an existing application with native Windows Service operation. The tool does not represent a separate application category, but rather supports the use of other applications on Windows.

The project is described as modern, lightweight, and open, and it is presented as an alternative to NSSM and WinSW. Its main feature is the ability to run applications as native services rather than requiring users to start them in the usual way. The free license makes Servy available without a purchase requirement, while its open-source nature identifies it as software whose source is available for inspection and development.

Servy belongs in the Windows utilities section of a download catalog because its role is tied directly to the Windows service system. MirrorNest links to the official Servy release instead of mirroring the software itself. This distribution approach lets the catalog provide an entry for Servy while directing downloads to the project's official release location.
