Your local development cockpit.
Organize projects, launch tools, run commands, manage Git, and start complete development setups from one desktop app.

A local development workflow is usually spread across project folders, terminals, editors, Git tools, and browser tabs. CodeDeck brings those repeated steps into one searchable desktop dashboard.
Add an existing project, clone a repository, or create one from a template. Then open the correct IDE, run development commands, inspect Git changes, manage project tasks, and launch multi-project environments without rebuilding your setup every time.
CodeDeck is local-first: no account or server is required, and the app configuration stays on your machine.
| Project dashboard | Search, favorite, archive, scan, and organize local development projects. |
| Project creation | Add folders, clone HTTPS/SSH/local Git repositories, or create projects from built-in and custom templates. |
| IDE and terminal launchers | Open each project in its preferred IDE, terminal, or system file manager. |
| Build and run | Save commands, working directories, environment variables, build/run actions, and development ports. |
| Live processes | Follow stdout and stderr, inspect command status, stop active processes, and receive optional desktop notifications. |
| Git workbench | View diffs, manage branches, stage files, commit, fetch, pull, push, and resolve text merge conflicts. |
| Launch sets | Start several projects, commands, terminals, IDEs, folders, and URLs in parallel or sequence. |
| Project todos | Keep lightweight project-specific tasks with status, priority, and manual ordering. |
| Local configuration | Import and export settings, use light/dark/system themes, and keep CodeDeck available in the system tray. |
| German and English UI | Switch the application interface between German and English. |

- Select the preferred IDE and configure saved commands or build/run actions.
- Use the project dashboard for daily work, or create a launch set for workflows that need multiple projects and tools.
The complete page-by-page guide is available in docs/README.md.
- Node.js 24
- pnpm 10.33 or newer
- Stable Rust toolchain
- Tauri system dependencies for your operating system
git clone https://github.com/JadnK/CodeDeck.git
cd CodeDeck
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm tauri:devFor frontend-only development:
pnpm devThe frontend-only version is useful for interface work. Filesystem dialogs, process execution, IDE launching, system tray integration, and other native features require the Tauri application.
pnpm build
cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml
pnpm tauri:buildGenerated platform packages are written to:
src-tauri/target/release/bundle/
- Adding a project does not move its folder or silently rewrite its source files.
- Cloning a repository does not automatically execute its project scripts.
- Commands only start after an explicit user action and run with the permissions of the current operating-system user.
- Imported commands are treated as untrusted and require confirmation before their first run.
- Only import configurations and custom templates from sources you trust.
