Your dev toolkit, one slide away - now it remembers. devPad 2.0 restores your exact panes and pages at launch, adds pane shortcuts, and named profiles for local AI. 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. DEVELOPER TOOLS • Console Inspector - Capture JavaScript logs with level filtering • Network Inspector - Monitor fetch() and XHR requests with timing • Relay API Client - Test endpoints with JSON tree view, import Postman collections • SQLite Browser - Query local databases DATA TOOLS JSON & SQL formatters, JWT decoder, UUID generator (v4/v7), Base64/URL/HTML encoder, hash generator (MD5-SHA512), regex tester, password generator with entropy calculation, Unix timestamp converter, color picker, case converter, and more. N-PANE LAYOUT Split your workspace into up to 4 panes. Browser alongside code viewer. AI chat beside your documentation. Drag dividers to resize. Save layouts as workspaces. 25+ THEMES + Theme studio to create your own! Works entirely offline. Your files, your bookmarks, your data-never transmitted anywhere. Built for developers who want powerful tools without the overhead.

DevPad is a bundle of tools you organize into an environment or workspace.You can work with AI in the right panel, copy snippets into the right. I hooked up my local AI to LM Studio in 30 seconds.You can browse a website in the top panel, take notes about it in the bottom.Copy and paste between two files, side by side.Watch a training video and take notes about the content.You can easily set up environments for development and research.Yes, you can do these sorts of things with other tools and window managers, but DevPad makes the process extremely convenient by having them all together.There are plenty of other tools, but a quick list:- Browser- AI Chat- Notes/Snippets- Code Viewer- Dev tools for RegEx, Password, Change Case- Image viewer, Video playerI run DevPad as a full application and it's great.Go to the developer site and read the feature guide, you'll get a real sense of what you can do.

devPad 2.0 is the biggest update yet — the browser, panes, and AI chat have all been overhauled. NEW • Session Restore - devPad can reopen exactly where you left off: your pane layout, split sizes, and pages. Turn it on under Launch Page settings. • Pane keyboard shortcuts - toggle AI Chat (⌘⌥C), Snippets (⌘⌥S), Relay (⌘⌥R), Data Tools (⌘⌥T), or Inspector (⌘⌥I), and close all panes (⌘⌥0) from the new Panes menu. • AI connection profiles - name your saved connections and set per-profile timeouts (great for slow-loading local models), temperature, and max tokens. API keys now live securely in the macOS Keychain. • AI Chat on the sidebar - a removable bookmark that toggles the chat pane. • Better AI responses - every code block gets a language label and one-click copy button, and you can regenerate the last answer. • Browser essentials - per-site page zoom (⌘+/−/0), find in page with match count (⌘F), page history (⌘Y), reopen closed page (⇧⌘T), print (⌘P), download progress with cancel, link previews on hover, and a richer right-click menu. IMPROVED • Split resizing is now precise - dividers follow your pointer exactly, and every pane keeps a usable minimum size, even when the panel shrinks. • New panes open next to the pane you're working in instead of squeezing the whole layout. • AI Chat shows the server's actual error message instead of a bare status code, and chat history moved to safer storage that supports large image attachments. FIXED • Pinch-to-zoom no longer stops working after the panel loses focus. • Fixed a crash when dragging bookmarks into folders. • Closing an expanded pane no longer reopens stuck in fullscreen. • Sending a message after deleting your last conversation now starts a new chat automatically.
