v1.0.0
d4244d8

A repo-aware tiled workspace for terminals, browsers, and AI coding sessions.
Every pane knows the repository it sits in and what that repository's working
tree is doing, and says so in its header. A pane that wants you — it rang the
bell, or went quiet on a question — glows red and flashes the taskbar, so the
whole grid can be left running while you get on with something else.

A pane can also be the page you are building: it tiles like the rest, keeps a
log of every request the page makes, and hands any one of them — or a run of
comments pointing at elements on the page — to a Claude session two panes over.

Download
devlobby-1.0.0-setup.exe installs to your own user folder, so it never asks for admin, and adds Start Menu and desktop shortcuts
devlobby-1.0.0-portable.exe one file, no install, no shortcuts

Windows x64. Your repositories, notes and layout live in %APPDATA%\DevLobby,
and uninstalling leaves them alone.

If Windows blocks it

These builds are unsigned, so SmartScreen warns on first run — More info,
then Run anyway. Smart App Control, where it is enforced, judges each binary
by its hash and can refuse outright with "An Application Control policy has
blocked this file". Building from source and launching through devlobby.cmd
runs the same app through Electron's own signed binary, which that policy does
not object to:

npm install
npm run build
devlobby.cmd

What is in it

  • A tiling grid: drag a pane onto another to split, drag the gutters to resize,
    one keystroke to fill the window. Nothing restarts while you rearrange.
  • Tabs, each one a whole grid of its own, all of them still running while you
    are looking at another.
  • Git state per pane: branch, staged and unstaged counts, untracked count, and
    drift against the upstream.
  • A browser pane with device viewports, an element picker that collects
    comments, and a network log you can read the whole exchange in.
  • /devlobby-browser, a Claude Code skill the app installs for you, which
    collects those comments from whichever pane you marked up.
  • Notes that tile and persist like terminals, and an undo that brings back a
    closed pane — or a whole grid — with its shell still running.

The README has the screenshots
and the full tour.
