Web Dev Companion
A quiet cockpit for local web development repositories: Git state, branch work, health checks, and runnable tasks in one focused desktop window.

What it is
For the projects already on your machine.
Web Dev Companion helps keep a collection of local repositories legible without turning into another editor, hosted dashboard, or commercial platform.
It is meant for the everyday loop: check what changed, jump into a repo, start the right task, watch output, and move between projects without losing context.
App shape
A page shaped like the desktop app.
Compact controls, quiet surfaces, status chips, and repository rows carry the same visual rhythm as the cockpit itself.

Repository overview
Save, pin, scan, sort, and search local Git repositories from one desktop view.
Git context
Review dirty state, branch details, recent commits, diffs, staging, and sync work.
Task cockpit
Run detected npm, Gradle, Maven, Rails, and Rake tasks in managed terminals.
Project health
Check the local runtime signals that matter before committing or switching focus.
Daily flow
A small surface for repeat work.
The app is intentionally practical: choose a repository, inspect its current state, run the task you need, and keep terminal output attached to the project it belongs to.
01
Find the repo
Use saved projects, pins, search, or local folder scans.
02
Read the state
Branches, remotes, changed files, commits, and health checks stay close together.
03
Run the work
Open the editor, launch a terminal, start scripts, and watch managed output.
