Open and run any dev project in one click.

Local project startup, reduced to one quiet button.

projecto gives developer machines a cleaner control layer: smart project folders, launch profiles, editor opening, command execution, stack detection, and account-backed billing sync without moving source code off your machine.

Your code stays on your machine.
projecto never uploads your source code.
Payments and subscriptions are handled securely through Dodo Payments.

Billing-aware sync

Pro access is verified through the projecto billing backend before premium desktop features unlock.

Problem

Dev environments still start from memory instead of a durable system.

Editors, terminals, and stack-specific commands get reopened manually every time developers move between projects.

Solution

projecto saves the right startup ritual for every local codebase.

Keep launch behavior close to your machine, your editors, and your real folders. Start faster without giving up local control.

Security

Local-first by default, not as a footnote.

projecto never uploads your source code. Google and Apple sign-in are used only for account sync, and billing is handled through Dodo Payments.

Features

A sharper desktop workflow for teams that keep their code local.

Smart project folders

Keep local repositories organized once, then reopen them with the exact launch behavior you expect.

Launch profiles

Save the scripts, terminals, editors, and startup order that belong to each project.

Editor opening

Jump into the right editor without repeating the same setup steps every time you switch repos.

Command execution

Run stack-specific commands from one launch action instead of rebuilding your workspace by memory.

Stack detection

Detect common frontend, backend, and desktop stacks and suggest a clean starting preset.

Local-first workflow

projecto is designed around your machine, your folders, and your existing tooling rather than a remote workspace.

How It Works

Save once. Launch the same way every time.

projecto combines project discovery, editor handoff, and command orchestration into a repeatable workflow that respects local machines.

Step 01

Add a project

local workflow

Point projecto at a folder or scan a parent workspace to import several repos in one move.

Step 02

Save launch behavior

local workflow

Attach editors, scripts, terminals, and stack-aware presets so startup becomes repeatable.

Step 03

Launch in one click

local workflow

Open the project, run the commands, and land in a ready-to-work local environment faster.

FAQ

Does projecto upload my code?

No. projecto never uploads your source code. It is built around a local-first workflow and keeps your project files on your machine.

Why does projecto use Google or Apple sign-in?

Google sign-in and Apple sign-in are used only for account and subscription sync across devices. They do not grant inbox access or source-code access.

How are payments handled?

Payments and subscriptions are handled securely through Dodo Payments. projecto uses the billing backend only to store subscription state and verify Pro access.

Will desktop sync upload my project files?

No. Desktop sync is for account state, billing, and future settings sync. Your code stays on your machine.
