Free alpha desktop app

Web Dev Companion

Keep an eye on your local repos, Git changes, project health, and scripts without bouncing between terminals.

What it is

Keep track of the projects already on your machine.

Web Dev Companion is a small desktop app for people who work across a bunch of local repositories.

It helps you see what changed, open the right folder, run scripts, and keep command output tied to the project it came from.

Preview

A quick look at the desktop app.

This is the Tasks view for a local repo, with pinned commands on the left, runnable project scripts on the right, and terminal output below.

The pieces you check every day.

Repos, Git state, tasks, and health checks stay close together so switching projects takes less effort.

Repository overview

Save projects, pin the ones you use most, scan folders, and search local repos.

Git context

See branches, changed files, recent commits, diffs, staging, and sync status.

Project tasks

Start detected npm, Gradle, Maven, Rails, and Rake tasks in managed terminals.

Project health

Run local checks before you commit, switch branches, or move to another repo.

Daily work

Less jumping between windows.

Pick a repo, check its state, run a script, and keep the output where you can find it again.

01 Find the repo

Open saved projects, pinned repos, search results, or newly scanned folders.

02 Read the state

See branches, remotes, changed files, commits, and health checks together.

03 Run the work

Open your editor or terminal, start scripts, and watch the output.
