Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Full-stack developers routinely touch 3-5 projects in a single day — a frontend, a backend API, a shared library, infrastructure configs. Each project has its own terminals, open files, database connections, and layout preferences. Without per-project state management, switching projects means reconfiguring everything from scratch. 1DevTool saves your complete workspace state per project, so switching takes one click instead of five minutes.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps
