QuickDev

Cross-platform Rust CLI that launches entire dev environments — terminal tabs, working directories, startup commands, and editors — in a single command

Source code

Quest lore

A command-line launcher that brings a whole project workspace to life in one command: terminal tabs open in the right directories, startup commands run, and your editor launches — all from a per-project .quickdev.toml with a global project index so any project can be launched from anywhere.

Interactive selection is powered by fzf, and an emulator auto-detection and priority system picks the right terminal (Ghostty, Terminal.app, Windows Terminal). Written entirely in asynchronous Rust for fast, dependency-light native execution.
