Projects, not tabs
Bundle every service a project needs into one group with its own working directory, commands and environment.
Dockmaster is a lightweight desktop command hub for local development. Group your apps into projects, boot or stop an entire stack at once, stream every log in one place, and run commands from a quick launcher that stays on top.
Open any app straight into your editor or terminal
How it works
Three steps. No config files, no YAML, no daemons to babysit.
Add the commands a project needs — frontend, API, database, workers — each with its own folder, env vars and ports. One project, your whole stack.
Start or stop everything with one click, or run a single command. Dockmaster manages the processes and kills the whole tree cleanly when you stop.
Stream every log in one place, see live status at a glance, and keep your projects in a quick launcher that stays on top while you work.
Features
Built for developers who run more than one thing at once — and want to keep it all in view.
Bundle every service a project needs into one group with its own working directory, commands and environment.
Launch and manage Android and iOS simulators from a dedicated Devices tab — no more hunting through terminal commands or IDE menus.
Live, searchable output from every process — colour-coded per service so you stop juggling terminal windows.
Pin your projects to a compact, always-on-top window. Start, stop and restart without leaving what you're doing.
Set environment variables and ports per app, loaded from your own .env files. No global state, no surprises.
A headless core talks over stdio only — no open ports, no firewall prompts, hardened renderer. Your machine stays yours.
Boot or shut down an entire stack in one action, with ordered startup and a clean kill-tree on the way down.
Live activity
A single view shows what’s running across all your projects, with PIDs, uptime and health. Stream colour-coded logs from each service and filter to the line you need.
Quick launcher
Pin the projects you use most to a compact, always-on-top window. Reorder them with a drag handle, expand to see apps, and start or stop anything without breaking flow.
