myDevDock

myDevDock is a desktop hub for local development folders: register repos, scan parent paths with monorepo-aware logic, see Git and stack signals at a glance, and open everything in your preferred editor—alone, in groups, or via Raycast scripts you generate from the UI.

Built with Tauri v2, React 19, and Rust. All data stays on your machine; no cloud account.

In practice

The flows below mirror how you actually use the app: from browsing what you have registered, to opening a set of repos together, to reusing that same open sequence from Raycast. The two animations at the end of this section are large files and can take a few seconds to appear.

Rich cards for each repo

See stacks, Git branch and status, and shortcuts without digging through Finder.

One action opens a whole group

Bundle projects (for example “frontend + API + docs”), then launch them all in your default editor with an optional delay between windows—useful when you always start the same set of services.

The same paths from Raycast

Export a Script Command once per project or group; from Raycast you trigger the same opens in the editor you chose in myDevDock.

Minimal widget mode for quick launch

Switch to a minimal dashboard that shows only project/group names for fast clicking. The app window also shifts to a compact widget-like size, and when you return to normal mode it restores to a monitor-aware size/position (keeps previous position when still visible, otherwise recenters safely).

Features

Area	Capability
Projects	Register folders manually or scan a parent directory (depth-limited walk).
Smart scan	Treats one workspace root per monorepo (Nx, Turborepo, pnpm/npm workspaces, Lerna, Rush, Melos, Cargo [workspace], Go go.work, Bazel roots). Does not register every inner apps/* / packages/* package. After a match, stops descending that tree.
Git	Branch, last commit message, last commit timestamp (ISO) for sorting, uncommitted change count, status for UI (clean / uncommitted / …).
Stacks	Heuristic detection from package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, Python files, etc.
Editors	Open project path in Cursor, VS Code, Zed, WebStorm, Sublime, Neovim, Antigravity; default editor + per-launch picker. Probable editor hint from .cursor, .vscode, etc.
Usage sort	lastOpenedAt when opened from the hub; sort also by name, date added, Git commit time, Git status. Settings persisted in Rust JSON state.
Groups	Create groups, assign projects (incl. drag-and-drop), launch all with configurable delay.
Minimal mode	Toggle a compact dashboard that lists only names (projects + groups), with one-click open/launch actions and quick return to normal view.
Window behavior	Entering minimal mode resizes to a widget profile. Returning to normal mode uses smart monitor-aware restore (safe size clamps + visibility-aware positioning).
Raycast	Configure a Script Commands folder once, then generate .sh launchers per project or group from the UI. Scripts target your chosen editor (with a macOS open -a fallback when the CLI is not on Raycast’s PATH). Removing a project or group removes its stored launcher file when applicable.
UI	Neon / glass aesthetic; multiple UI themes (data-theme + CSS variables in src/styles.css). i18n via react-i18next.
Multi-window	Separate settings UI path; Tauri events sync theme and app settings across webviews instantly.
Persistence	Single JSON file under the app data directory (projects, groups, settings).
Dev without desktop	bun run dev uses mock services when window.__TAURI__ is missing.
