DevProjex for MAC
Free, open-source app that turns any project folder into clean, masked code context for AI chats, with a read-only MCP server for coding agents.
DevProjex Overview
DevProjex is a free, open-source app that turns any folder or Git repository into clean context for AI. You tick the folders and files you need in a file tree, check a live preview with its token estimate, and then copy or export the result as ASCII, Markdown, JSON or XML, or as a clean copy of the project in a folder or ZIP. Detected secrets such as keys and passwords are masked before anything leaves the app, and you can also mask private data like emails, IP addresses and user paths.
Coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can read the project through DevProjex's built-in MCP server, which only reads and always masks secrets. The desktop app, a Terminal Workspace, a command-line tool and the MCP server share one engine and one set of filters. DevProjex does not upload project contents or collect telemetry. It is made by Avazbek Olimov and released under the Apache 2.0 license. Version 5.2 adds Live Context, where the files ticked in the app become the agent's focus. The Mac app needs macOS 14 or later, with separate downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel. It is not signed or notarized by Apple, so on first launch you allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
Key Features
DevProjex lets you see and control exactly what code goes to an AI.
- File tree with checkboxes: pick folders and files, with search and name filters.
- Live preview: see the exact output and its token estimate as you choose.
- Several formats: ASCII, Markdown, JSON or XML, or a project copy as folder or ZIP.
- Hide Secrets: detected credentials are masked in every export.
- Smart Ignore: hides build output, dependency folders and caches.
- Code compression: keeps signatures and empties function bodies.
- Git modes: tracked files, staged files, current changes or a diff between refs.
- Read-only MCP server: eight tools for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other clients.
What’s New in Version 5.2
DevProjex 5.2 brings live agent context and new tools for coding agents.
- Live Context: an agent connected in this mode works with the files ticked in the DevProjex tree, and changes apply on its next call
- One-step MCP connection for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code from the new MCP menu
- Agent journal: a local history of MCP sessions that can be exported as Markdown or JSON, without file contents or secrets
- Agent activity marks the files delivered to a live agent in the project tree
- Related files shows what a file uses and what uses it, for many languages
- Project search for text, regular expressions and declarations in the CLI and Terminal Workspace
DevProjex FAQ
Is DevProjex free?
Yes. DevProjex is free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
What is DevProjex used for?
It prepares code from a project for AI. You choose files in a tree, preview the result with a token estimate and copy or export it for ChatGPT, Claude or other assistants, or let coding agents read the project through its MCP server.
Does DevProjex hide passwords and API keys?
Yes. Hide Secrets masks detected credentials in every export and every MCP response, and in the MCP server it cannot be turned off. You can also mask private data such as emails, IP addresses, phone numbers and user paths.
Which coding agents can use DevProjex?
Any MCP client can use its read-only MCP server. Version 5.2 adds one-step connection for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, and shows a ready configuration for Claude Desktop and other clients.
What is Live Context?
Added in version 5.2, Live Context makes the files and folders ticked in the DevProjex tree the focus of a connected agent, while the window's filters limit what it can read. Changes apply on the agent's next call.
Does DevProjex upload my code?
No. DevProjex does not upload project contents or collect telemetry. Its MCP server only reads files.
Which export formats does DevProjex support?
It exports ASCII, Markdown, JSON or XML, or a clean copy of the project as a folder or ZIP.
Which macOS version does DevProjex need?
DevProjex needs macOS 14 or later. There are separate downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Why does macOS block DevProjex the first time?
The Mac app is not signed or notarized by Apple. Try to open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. On macOS 14 you can also right-click the app and choose Open.
Where does the DevProjex download on devprojex.FULLMAC.app come from?
The download button leads to the official DevProjex release page on GitHub at https://github.com/Avazbek22/DevProjex/releases/latest. devprojex.FULLMAC.app does not change or repackage the app.

OrbStackOrbStack is a fast, light and simple way to run Docker containers and Linux machines on your Mac. It is a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop: your docker and docker compose commands keep working, and on first start OrbStack offers to copy over your existing Docker Desktop containers, images and volumes. It starts in seconds, uses less than 0.1% background CPU on Apple Silicon and returns unused memory to macOS. Besides containers it runs full Linux machines from 16 distributions, and a lightweight Kubernetes cluster for local development. OrbStack is made by Orbital Labs.Developer Tools
QuotaBarIf you use OpenAI Codex with a ChatGPT account, the usage limits reset on a 5-hour and a weekly window, and checking how much is left means opening Codex or ChatGPT. QuotaBar puts the remaining percentage in the Mac menu bar and refreshes it every 60 seconds. Click the icon for a detailed panel with every limit window and its reset countdown, or turn on a small floating HUD that stays on top of other windows.Developer Tools
Stargazer BarStargazer Bar is a small native menu bar app for Mac that keeps an eye on GitHub repositories for you. It puts a live star count in the menu bar, so you can see how a project is doing without keeping a browser tab open, and a click opens a dropdown with the details: star and fork trend charts, release download totals and a maintainer radar. Public repositories are measured by their stars. Private repositories, which have no stars, are measured by what needs your attention: a failing build, an unanswered issue or a new pull request.Developer Tools
Notch So GoodNotch So Good turns the notch of your MacBook into a small status display for AI coding agents. While Claude Code or the OpenAI Codex CLI works, a black pill extends the notch: a 3D character called Peek sits on the left, and a ring on the right shows how much of your 5-hour usage window is left. The more a session needs you, the further Peek climbs out. When a task finishes, fails or runs into a usage limit, the notch opens into a card that says what happened and in which project, and a click jumps to the exact terminal tab, tmux pane included.Developer Tools
Claude UsageClaude Usage is a small native app for people who use Claude Code. In the menu bar it shows your current five-hour session, your weekly usage for all models and for Sonnet, and your pay-as-you-go credits, each with a usage bar and its reset time, without opening Claude Code. It also adds a one-line readout under your Claude Code prompt with the model, how full the context window is and the tokens used, so you can compact a session before it runs out of room. Each terminal pane shows its own readout, also across tmux.Developer Tools
TintpadTintpad is a free, open-source launcher for developers who work with command-line coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Press Option-Command-Space anywhere and a black drop falls out of your Mac's notch, or hangs below the menu bar on Macs without one, with your repositories inside. Type a few letters, press Return, and your own terminal opens at that repository with the agent already running, in the mode you used there last.Developer Tools
