Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Every time you set up 1DevTool on a new machine, you rebuild your sidebar from scratch — re-add projects, re-create groups, re-import themes. Your time is the cost. Export/Import means your workspace setup is a portable file: take it from desktop to laptop, from a fresh OS install to your daily driver, without losing the layout you've been building for months.
