Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
When you have multiple projects open, you need to know which workspace you're in at a glance — especially before running destructive commands. Color-coded projects tint your sidebar, tabs, and status indicators with a unique accent per project. You'll never accidentally run a production command in your staging project again. It's a small feature that prevents catastrophic mistakes.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Add Your Projects
Click the "+" button to add project folders. Assign unique colors for instant visual identification.
Browse & Navigate
Use the file explorer to browse your project. Filter files, toggle hidden items, and search instantly.
Switch Instantly
Click any project to switch. Your entire workspace state — terminals, files, layout — restores automatically.
Choose Your Layout
Select a preset layout or create a custom one. Your layout is saved per project for consistent workflows.
