I made a task runner inspired by make's simplicity but purpose-built for running tasks:

Run: Task runner that helps you easily manage and invoke small scripts and wrappers.

Do you find yourself using tools like make to manage non-build-related scripts?

Build tools are great, but they are not optimized for general script management.

Run aims to be better at managing small scripts and wrappers, while incorporating a familiar make-like syntax.
