devall.json 🪟
The config file for your dev services and commands. Python, Node, tunnels and databases, all in one place. No more terminal tab tetris.
⠋
restart backend
Dev console for
Frontend, backend and all your processes in one clean dashboard. See everything, run commands, and share the context with your coding agents.
Get Started →
npm i -g devall
Fast, free, no signup, 100% local, no BS.
Quick Example
Section titled “Quick Example”Here’s all you need for a typical React + Express setup:
{ "services": [ { "name": "React Frontend", "command": "npm", "args": ["start"], "cwd": "./frontend", "port": 3000, "autostart": true }, { "name": "Express API", "command": "npm", "args": ["run", "dev"], "cwd": "./backend", "port": 5000, "autostart": true } ]}Save this file, run npx devall, and both services start together with live logs in one dashboard.
Start Everything. See Everything.
Section titled “Start Everything. See Everything.”Save time
Run devall. Everything starts, fast. No README hunting. Build, test and lint using dashboard buttons. Switch project fast. No “how do I run this?” ever again.
Built for coding agents
Coding agents need context. Before, you either had to copy-paste logs, or fight over ports. Now everyone gets the logs and shares control. It saves tons of tokens too.
Batteries included
Monitor resource usage, one click https tunnels, auto-fix port conflicts, auto-install missing packages, chat agent, custom plugins, and more.

What Developers Are Saying
Section titled “What Developers Are Saying”
”DevAll cut our onboarding time from hours to minutes. New developers just run
devalland they’re ready to code.”
“My Claude assistant can finally see what’s running and help debug. It’s like having a senior dev who actually knows the codebase.”
”Switching between client projects used to mean 10 minutes of setup. Now it’s literally one command.”

Who’s This For?
Section titled “Who’s This For?”Full-Stack Developers
Juggling React, Express, Postgres, Redis, and three worker processes? Type
npx devall, watch them all start, see everything in one place. No more
Cmd+Tab Olympics.
AI-Powered Developers
Pair programming with Claude or Cursor? Stop being a human clipboard. Let your AI assistant actually see and control your dev environment. It’s 2025, this should be table stakes.
Agencies & Consultants
Client A uses ports 3000-3003, Client B uses 8000-8003, and you forgot which
is which? Save a devall.jsonc per project. One command gets you back into
the right headspace.
Open Source Maintainers
Tired of “how do I run this?” issues? Drop a devall.jsonc in your repo.
New contributors go from git clone to fully running in 30 seconds.
Documentation as code, baby.
What exactly does DevAll do?
A visual dashboard for all your development services. Instead of juggling terminal tabs, everything runs in one place that both you and your AI assistant can control.
Do I need to change my existing code or project structure?
No. DevAll works with your existing setup. Just add a devall.json config file that points to your existing scripts and services.
How is this different from Docker Compose?
Keep Docker for production parity, use DevAll for dev speed. No containers, no rebuilds, instant hot reload, and your AI assistant can actually see what’s happening.
Which AI assistants work with DevAll?
Any MCP-compatible assistant (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline) plus our CLI works with any LLM. Your assistant sees logs and can restart services directly.
Will it work with my stack?
If it runs in a terminal, DevAll can manage it. Node, Python, Ruby, Go, anything.
Is the free version really free?
Yes. 3 services covers most projects. Pro is for unlimited services and commercial use.
Can I use DevAll in production?
No. DevAll is a dev tool, made for DEV, not optimized AT ALL for deploying services. Use PM2, Docker, or proper deployment platforms for production.
What’s MCP?
Model Context Protocol - lets AI assistants like Claude interact with tools. DevAll has it built-in so your AI can actually help debug.
How much context does this save when working with AI?
Typically 70-80% less copy-pasting. Instead of sending walls of logs, your AI sees everything live and you can reference specific errors.
Can my whole team use this with one license?
Each developer needs their own license for commercial use. There’s a team package that will allow you to save, and you can contact us for enterprise needs.
What’s the learning curve?
5 minutes to basic usage, maybe an hour to master advanced features. If you can understand package.json, you’ll be fine with devall.json.
Can my AI assistant actually fix issues or just read logs?
Full control. It can restart services, run commands, even fix port conflicts automatically. It’s like giving your AI assistant safe sudo access to your dev environment.
What if I’m working on multiple client projects?
Each project gets its own devall.json. Switch projects = one command. All your client-specific ports, services, and configs restore instantly.
Is my code/data safe? Do you collect anything?
100% local, no telemetry, no account required. We literally cannot see your code or logs. Check our source if you want - it’s all transparent.
