Deploys, HTTP Collections, SSH Manager, and Tasks in One AI Developer Workspace

Deploy to Vercel or Cloudflare Pages, organize API requests in nested collections, manage SSH connections, and turn project tasks into AI-ready prompts without leaving your workspace.

Deploys, HTTP Collections, SSH Manager, and Tasks in One AI Developer Workspace

There is a point where "just use another app" stops being practical. Your deploy logs are in one place, API collections in another, SSH connections in another, tasks in another, and the actual code plus AI terminals somewhere else again. You are not short on tools. You are short on one continuous workflow.

1DevTool v1.15.0 is a major answer to that problem. It adds built-in deploys to Vercel and Cloudflare Pages, nested HTTP Collections with import/export and environments, a real SSH Manager and Clone tab, and project-level task management with Kanban and Pomodoro focus timers.

This is not one feature. It is a release about collapsing the distance between shipping, testing, remote access, and execution planning.

API work gets dramatically faster when requests, environments, and the rest of your workspace live in the same operating surface.

Deploy Without Leaving the Workspace

Built-in deploys matter because shipping is usually the moment when your workflow falls out of the editor and into terminal scripts, browser tabs, and copy-pasted tokens. v1.15.0 brings that back inside the app with a Deploy dialog that scans the current project, detects whether it looks like Next.js, Vite, Remix, or a static site, and suggests the right build command and output directory before you deploy.

The implementation is not hand-wavy. In the desktop source, the deploy manager routes requests to provider-specific implementations for Vercel and Cloudflare Pages. The Vercel provider handles token testing, scope selection, vercel pull,vercel build, and vercel deploy --prebuilt, while the UI keeps a structured log stream and can open build logs or preview URLs directly when things fail.

The deploy flow now lives next to the rest of your project context, with live logs and direct actions when something goes wrong.

Why This Is Better Than a Bare CLI

The deploy flow is not just a button that runs a shell command. It remembers provider settings, exposes project and team scope choices, streams logs inline, and gives you actionable recovery paths when Vercel's server-side post-processing fails. The result is that deploy state becomes part of the workspace rather than a transient terminal moment you have to reconstruct later.

HTTP Collections, Environments, and Import/Export

The HTTP Client is the other major pillar of the release. Previously, a flat request list was fine for a few endpoints. It breaks down the moment your API workflow spans multiple services, environments, or teams. v1.15.0 introduces a tree-based Collections model built directly into the sidebar.

In the source, request names become tree paths like"Collection / Folder / Request", and the sidebar builds a real nested structure from those flattened names. That enables drag-and-drop reordering, folder movement, collection creation, and a much saner mental model for larger request libraries.

The release also adds:

  • Environment variables with {{var}} substitution across URLs, headers, query parameters, and request bodies.
  • Import from Postman, Insomnia, and Bruno through dedicated parsers and import actions.
  • Export back out to Postman JSON, Insomnia JSON, or Bruno folder format.
  • Inline test scripting and a structured URL params editor for cleaner request authoring.

Collections matter because API work is rarely one request. It is a repeated, environment-aware loop of request, inspect, fix, and retry.

Why This Is a Real Postman Alternative

A Postman alternative is only compelling if it reduces total debugging time, not just if it can send HTTP requests. What makes this release matter is that collections, environments, import/export, and response inspection now live next to your terminals, code, AI prompts, and deploy surfaces. That shortens the loop between API failure and code change.

SSH Manager, Clone Tab, and Task Execution

v1.15.0 also brings remote and execution planning into the same workspace. The Add Project dialog now has an SSH mode with saved connections, key browsing, and an explicitConfigure in SSH Manager escape hatch when your host list needs work. The same dialog also has a Clone tab that can fetch repositories from a saved GitHub account, show destination previews, and clone directly into the parent directory you selected.

This matters because adding a new project stops being a terminal ritual. You do not have to switch contexts just to connect to a server or search one of your GitHub repositories.

Remote access is now part of project creation, not a disconnected setup path.

Then there is the Tasks system. The board model is explicit in the code:Todo, In Progress, Blocked, andDone. Cards are draggable between columns, WIP limits can be configured, and task details include attachments, subtasks, estimates, spent time, and aSend to terminal action that turns selected tasks into a structured prompt for an AI terminal.

The focus timer is equally concrete. The Pomodoro component uses a 25 minute focus session, 5 minute short break, and 15 minute long break after four work sessions. Spent minutes are flushed back to the task record, so time tracking and task execution stay linked instead of becoming separate habits.

Try It Today

v1.15.0 is what a workspace release looks like when the goal is not to add one isolated feature, but to tighten the whole loop from planning to remote access to API debugging to deployment. If that is how you already work, this release removes a surprising amount of glue code and tool switching.

Download the latest build from 1devtool.com and try one path end-to-end: import an API collection, fix a failing request, send the resulting task to an AI terminal, and deploy the finished project without leaving the app.
