Privacy first slide-out developer toolkit. Browser, code editor, local/cloud context aware AI chat, API client, and 15+ data tools - one gesture away. Zero Telemetry.
devPad is a slide-out utility panel for macOS that gives you instant access to a browser, code editor, AI assistant, and developer tools-all triggered by moving your cursor to the screen edge.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• Zero telemetry - No analytics, app account login or usage tracking
• Fully sandboxed - Apple's strictest security standard
• Local storage - All data stays on your device
• No account required - Use every feature without signing up
INSTANT ACCESS
Move your cursor to the screen edge and devPad slides out. Move away and it disappears. Or use ⌘⇧. to toggle from anywhere. Pin it open when you need persistent access.
BUILT-IN BROWSER
A full WebKit browser with searchable bookmarks, ad blocking, reader mode, and local file browsing. Import bookmarks from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge. Bookmark local folders for quick project access. Right click text or images to add to AI Chat context.
CODE VIEWER & EDITOR
View and edit code with syntax highlighting for 150+ languages. Automatic version history creates backups every time you save. Git integration shows modified status and opens side-by-side diffs against HEAD. Split preview for Markdown and HTML files.
SNIPPETS AND NOTES
CAPTURE ANYTHING, FIND IT INSTANTLY
Snippets & Notes is a searchable library for everything you want to remember-code fragments, API responses, configuration blocks, terminal commands, research notes, AI conversations.
MULTIPLE WAYS TO CAPTURE
• Select text on any webpage or in Code Viewer, right-click → Save as Snippet
• Copy from anywhere, open Snippets, click "Paste as Snippet"
• Save AI chat responses with one click-includes the question, answer, model name, and performance metrics
• Quick Note mode for freeform ideas without metadata
ORGANIZED YOUR WAY
Tag snippets with multiple labels (swift, regex, auth, project-x). Create colored folders for project-based organization. Full-text search finds matches across titles, content, tags, and notes instantly.
TWO MODES
Snippet Mode gives you structure-title, language, tags, source URL, and notes fields. Everything is searchable and filterable.
Notes Mode is freeform-a running list, idea pad, or scratch space. No required fields. Just write.
MARKDOWN RENDERING
Saved AI responses and markdown snippets render with proper formatting, code blocks, and syntax highlighting. Toggle to Source view to edit the raw text.
ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE
Open as a slide-down shade over your current work, dock as a split pane, or expand to full panel. Minimize to the tab bar and recall with one click. Your snippets persist across sessions and never leave your device.
Stop losing code you'll need again. Stop searching your chat history for that one command. Snippets & Notes keeps everything in one searchable, organized place.
AI CHAT
Connect to local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio) or cloud APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic). Send page content as context for summarization and code explanation. Attach images and files. Save responses as searchable snippets.
