DEVTOOLS-X

devutils is macOS-only, and devtoys is Windows-only.
So here's DevTools-X -- an x-platform non-electron, collection of dev-tools that is lighter, safer, and feature rich (currenltly 41 modules and growing) development utilities.

Note: Application is stable but there are too many modules and all are not well tested on all 3 OSes. Please report any bugs you find.

In any case if the app doesn't render/load anything, just delete the file if exists or create settings.json if doesn't exist at: https://docs.rs/tauri/latest/tauri/api/path/fn.data_dir.html

NOTE

After migrating to tauri v2, app is facing minor bugs again, (because of tauri) You might see basic css breaking or app not working on specific platform. Please open a bug in issue tracker if you do. I will fix it if anything I can fix on my side.

Installation

Download prebuilt binaries

This project runs a github CI to build binaries for all platforms. Head to Releases and download the binary as per your requirements.

NOTE FOR MACOS USERS, you need this to run the app as binaries are not signed yet:

xattr -r -c /Applications/dev-tools.app

Compile yourself

Download the relevant package from Github Releases section, and start using it! :D

If you prefer compiling your own package, make sure you have all tauri pre-requisites installed:

https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites

Then just clone and open the project in terminal and run

yarn tauri build

Tech Stack

DevTools-X is NOT WRITTEN IN ELECTRON.

Client: React, Mantine

Backend: Rust

That should be enough to tell you it's built on top of Tauri, So we get best of the both worlds: Web + Rust. Web to create beautiful cross-platform UI, Rust to create fast and small applications. Tauri bundle is super small, about 10MB of installer.

FAQ

Migrate settings?

There's a backup/restore feature available in settings drawer. you can backup manually as well, copy settings.json from appDir

App is not starting/showing empty screen

Most likely your db is corrupt. delete settings.json file in your appDir. Create a issue if you can't find it.

I do not like the order of modules

All module can be rearranged with drag-n-drop. order is saved in a local db. you can edit this file manually as well, it's a simple json file.

Do I need to know Rust to get started?

Absolutely not. Many modules are written in pure JS, rust is only needed for performance and security sensitive features like calculating hash or compressing image etc.
