We got tired of duct-taping .env, tunnels, and Git configs — so we built a CLI. (devexp.pro)

Setting up environments for new projects always feels like unnecessary overhead. We got tired of it, so we built DevExp (dx).

Secrets stay local with optional sync across devices — a must-have for teams (and seriously, people still send .env files in chats?). Tunnels with unlimited third-level domains — pick your own names, WebSocket support included out of the box. Full request inspector for both HTTP and WebSocket traffic — no more guessing what’s going over the wire. Git profiles handled by a dedicated tool — switch identities per project in a few clicks. Manually editing .gitconfig in 2025? Nah. Deploy your code into lightweight Deno isolates in seconds — fast spin-up, low memory usage, without the overhead of containers.

Coming soon: an embedded SQLite-based database manager with REST API — simple to start, flexible to grow. Also in the pipeline: password manager, dotfile/config manager, boilerplate generator — all integrated inside the CLI.

We’re building this for ourselves — and for anyone else who’s tired of wasting time on setup instead of building.

First public release is almost ready. Join the waitlist: https://devexp.pro Follow updates: https://x.com/devexp_sh

Would love to hear what you think about the idea!
