## how_it_works

From scattered terminals to one calm hub

Three steps. No config files, no YAML, no daemons to babysit.

  1. 01

    Group apps into projects

    Add the commands a project needs — frontend, API, database, workers — each with its own folder, env vars and ports. One project, your whole stack.

  2. 02

    Boot the 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.

  3. 03

    Watch it from anywhere

    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

Everything your local stack needs

Built for developers who run more than one thing at once — and want to keep it all in view.

[01]

projects, not tabs

Bundle every service a project needs into one group with its own working directory, commands and environment.

[02]

device emulators

Launch and manage Android and iOS simulators from a dedicated Devices tab — no more hunting through terminal commands or IDE menus.

[03]

logs in one place

Live, searchable output from every process — colour-coded per service so you stop juggling terminal windows.

[04]

quick launcher

Pin your projects to a compact, always-on-top window. Start, stop and restart without leaving what you're doing.

[05]

per-app env & ports

Set environment variables and ports per app, loaded from your own .env files. No global state, no surprises.

[06]

secure by design

A headless core talks over stdio only — no open ports, no firewall prompts, hardened renderer. Your machine stays yours.

[07]

start / stop all

Boot or shut down an entire stack in one action, with ordered startup and a clean kill-tree on the way down.

[08]

git, without the context switch

See the branch, ahead/behind and every changed line for each project — stage, commit, switch branches and push from the same window your stack already runs in.

## live_activity

Every log, every process — one window

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.

  • ✓ Searchable, per-service log streams
  • ✓ Live status: running, healthy, starting, error
  • ✓ Clickable links open in your browser
● ● ● dockmaster — activity

## quick_launcher

Always one click away

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.

  • ✓ Frameless, movable, stays on top
  • ✓ Per-project start / stop / restart
  • ✓ Drag to reorder, expand for detail
