DevSpace

Stop hunting for projects. Start working.

A Windows desktop app that centralizes every project you work on — tools, credentials, git, terminals — in one place. Free during the public preview.

v2.2.0-preview · Windows 10/11 · ~80 MB · No admin required

Note: unsigned during preview — Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Code signing is on the roadmap before stable release.

Local-firstNo telemetryNo cloud account required

Never collected: IP addresses, project paths, commit content, credentials.

Built by Biswajit Panday + Abdullah Saleh Robin

On nights and weekends over 18 months — concept to public preview.

The problem

  • 30+ minutes a day lost to switching between projects
  • Credentials scattered across sticky notes, password managers, and .env files
  • Every project has its own ritual: which IDE, which terminal, which folder, which DB tool

What DevSpace does

Auto-discovers your tools

Finds 100+ developer apps installed on your machine in under 3 seconds. Three sources running in parallel: Registry ARP, Start Menu shortcuts, and PATH scanning. No config, no patterns to maintain — new tools appear automatically. Smart classification across 16 categories: IDEs, runtimes, SCM, containers, databases, terminals, browsers, build tools, cloud CLIs, and more.

Manual rescan with live progress

Just installed a new tool? Click Scan Tools and each source reports back in real time via SignalR. See what's new vs already-known. Skip or undo individual results before saving.

Tool Templates — reusable tool collections

Save your most-used tool sets (".NET API", "React Frontend", "Data Pipeline") and apply them to any project in one click. Bulk-import tools into existing projects too — no more adding them one by one.

Multiple encrypted credentials per project

Dev DB password, staging DB, API tokens, SSH keys — all encrypted with Windows DPAPI, tied to your user account. Drag to reorder, copy with one click. Custom labels per credential.

Add or edit projects in 3 steps

Basic info → directories → credentials. Auto-detects git on directory selection. Apply a Tool Template during creation to bulk-add tools. Same wizard, Edit mode for any field.

Bulk-import existing repos

Point DevSpace at a directory tree and it scans for every .git repo, deduplicates, and imports them all in one click. Onboarding to a colleague's machine — or your own old projects folder — goes from a 30-minute setup ritual to a single scan.

Full git workflow built in

Visual commit graph, 4-panel layout, 6-tab sidebar (Commit, Branch Explorer, History, Remotes, Tags, Stashes). Cherry-pick, rebase, merge, conflict resolver, branch comparison. 27-language syntax highlighting.

One-click ops from the visual graph

Right-click any commit on the graph for the full operation menu — branch from commit, checkout, tag, merge, cherry-pick, reset, push, pull, fetch. The operations live where the context does, not three menus away.

Commit panel with hunk-level staging

Stage individual hunks or whole files using real git add / git restore --staged. Live diff preview, inline commit message, command palette (Ctrl+K). 13 input dialogs, 10+ keyboard shortcuts.

Commit history with smart filters

Filter by branch, author, or date. Click any commit for full details + diff. Per-file history view, blame view, branch comparison. Manual refresh — no disk-thrashing auto-poll.

Personalized quick links

Pin web URLs, terminal commands, or apps to the dashboard. Three types: web link, terminal command, application. Always one click away — no project context needed.

Built with

Electron 27React 18TypeScriptTailwind CSS.NET 9EF CoreSignalRSQLiteSupabase (planned)Clean ArchitectureCQRSDDD

Built on Clean Architecture (4 layers), CQRS, and DDD — designed for maintainability and testability over the long haul. Security: 21-command shell whitelist with argument sanitization; credentials encrypted with Windows DPAPI per project. No telemetry in the current preview.

How it works

A two-process desktop app: an Electron renderer for the UI and a local .NET 9 WebAPI on localhost:7003 for everything else. Your data never leaves your machine — no cloud account, no telemetry.
