Auto Account Pools

Pick ⚡ Auto (pool order) when adding a terminal and 1DevTool walks your provider chain, then starts the terminal on the healthiest account of the first pool that can take work. Rotation happens between launches only — a running terminal never has its account swapped out from under it.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Choosing an account by hand every time you open a terminal is a small tax you pay dozens of times a day, and you pay it with stale information about which account has room. Auto pools make that choice for you using live quota, with rules designed to never surprise you: a terminal keeps the account it started on for its whole life, a launch that would conflict is refused with a reason instead of quietly mixing credentials, and nothing sits on the network path between the CLI and its provider. Bench an account to hold it out of rotation, and the Activity log tells you exactly why any terminal got the account it got.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Put accounts in the pool

On the Accounts tab, the In pool toggle decides which saved accounts the pool may draw from. Bench one to hold it out without removing it.

2
2

Set the mode and strategy

The Policies tab holds the provider chain and per-pool rules: Manual, Pinned or Auto, and for Auto a strategy of Most quota left, Round-robin or Priority order.

Launch with ⚡ Auto (pool order)

Pick it in the Add Terminal dialog and 1DevTool walks the chain, starting the terminal on the healthiest account of the first pool that can take work.

Read the Activity log

Every switch, lease and cooldown is logged, so you can always find out why a terminal got the account it got. Running terminals never switch accounts.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Pick an account by hand, every terminal
# Pick it from stale information
# Land on the one that runs out first
# Or script a rotation and mix credentials mid-conversation

The 1DevTool Way

Pick ⚡ Auto (pool order) when adding a terminal.
It starts on the healthiest account that can take work.
Rotation happens between launches, never mid-conversation.
The Activity log says why it chose what it chose.
