What changed
New features
6- Open files directly from your OS into 1DevTool — Double-clicking .md, .txt, .json, .yml, or .yaml routes the file straight into your workspace
- Jump to the right project automatically — If the file belongs to an existing project, 1DevTool switches to that project and opens it
- Create a project on demand from the opened file's folder — If the parent folder isn't in your workspace, 1DevTool creates the project automatically
- Reveal terminals under each project in the sidebar — A toggle shows visible terminals directly under their project
- Open the exact terminal session in one click — Clicking a terminal row focuses the terminal panel and switches to that session
- Find active work faster — Projects with visible terminals are surfaced first
Improvements
3- Wider reading layout with tighter spacing — Broader, cleaner content area for long AI conversations
- Refined reading themes — Dark and green presets with improved readability
- Cleaner transcript output — Trailing shell prompts and typing hints are trimmed
Bug fixes
