DevGo – cross-machine project launcher

One-person multi-machine dev flow: manage projects, terminals, editors, and agents in one place

Problem

A developer juggles Windows+WSL, Mac, Ubuntu Desktop, and Ubuntu Server, and managing projects, opening terminals, editors, and AI agents across them is a nightmare held together by hardcoded PowerShell scripts. Every machine switch means re-remembering how each project is supposed to start.

Solution

A local-first, cross-platform project launcher: register every project and its 'launch recipe' (working dir, env vars, terminal commands, editor, Agent config) in one place, then spin up the whole environment on any connected machine with one click. Supports WSL, multi-distro containers, and remote SSH, with configs synced as readable files to avoid lock-in.

Users

Indie developers and freelancers who switch between OSes and machines, plus small teams where devs also do ops.

MVP

Central project list with per-project launch recipes; one-click open terminal, editor, and required processes locally or over SSH; WSL and Linux container support; recipes synced as plain text files; lightweight tray GUI.

Revenue

One-time purchase desktop app (early-supporter discount); team plan per seat with shared recipe library and remote machine management.

Why now

Remote and multi-machine workflows are increasingly common among indie developers, but existing remote IDE options lock you into one editor; a weekend-project cross-platform launcher still has room.
