Motivation

There are many similar apps already, such as DevUtils or DevToys but they are often expensive, have poor UX, or don’t have the tools I need. Also, I wanted to have a tool that I can use as a Mac app and a web app.

Prerequisites

The desktop app is built with Tauri, which requires the Rust toolchain (this provides cargo):

brew install rust

Alternatively, install via rustup (recommended by Tauri):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Verify the installation:

cargo --version

Development

npm install
npm run dev
npm run dev:app

Building

npm run build
npm run build:app
