Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Frontend debugging needs DevTools — network requests, console errors, DOM inspection, performance profiling. Having DevTools accessible right inside 1DevTool means you can inspect a network request, check the console error, fix the code in your terminal, and see the result in the browser — all in one window. The debug cycle that normally spans 3 apps happens in one.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1

Set Your URL

Enter your local dev server URL or set a default per project. The browser loads your app instantly.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Search for the right tool online
# Switch between multiple apps
# Copy-paste data between windows
# Lose context every time you switch
# Repeat dozens of times per day

The 1DevTool Way

Everything in one workspace.
No context switching.
All tools integrated and connected.
