Review by:
3.5/5

Users who rely heavily on certain vital applications will be able to use this program that maintains processes up and running and can even perform scheduled interval checks and restart the required processes in case of crashes or failures.

Keep Software Alive sports a rudimentary interface, which contains all the necessary elements for setting up a “protection and revival” scheme for those crucial processes and corresponding applications one might depend on.

Users have the chance to search their process through a simple, dual input menu, which offers the ability to either browse for the process itself or the application’s start file. Regardless of the chosen method, once the process is inserted into the list, the time check interval can be set with ease and users can even overwrite the check manually, at any time.

Although it offers efficient functionality and an unclutter interface, the lack of extra features or increased setup operation becomes apparent rather quickly. More precisely, in certain situations, apps cannot be added only by using their process in the input menu.

This can be avoided if the process appears in the input overlay with its entire path listed, in which case the program will automatically accept the input. When it comes to the lack of extra features, one might seek the ability to prioritize the “revival” order of the selected processes, this basically allowing for a hierarchically-based setup.

Keeping processes running is of paramount importance when dealing with critical applications. This piece of software aptly does so through a simple and intuitive setup. If overlooking some limitations and potential extra features, this application could be considered a lifesaver for those who seek a way to maintain their processes running.
