Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Different tasks need different screen arrangements. API debugging needs the HTTP client and terminal prominent. Frontend work needs the browser preview and file explorer. Database work needs the query editor front and center. Instead of manually rearranging panels every time you switch tasks, one-click layout presets instantly transform your workspace. You can also save custom layouts for your unique workflows.
