About DevDock

DevDock is a local development workspace for Windows that brings project organization, saved commands, guided Git workflows, Docker and Docker Compose integration, health checks, and security audits into a single desktop app. The free plan supports up to three local projects with the full set of core commands, Git tools, Docker integration, Project Doctor health checks, and security-audit tools, plus read-only browsing of SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases capped at 200 rows. A one-time Pro purchase removes the three-project limit and adds multi-folder projects, custom workflows, full history and insights, write-capable database tools, SSH transfers, and configuration backup/restore. It's distributed through the Microsoft Store.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

Stay on the free plan while you're comfortably under the free plan's limit (Up to 3 local projects with full core/Git/Docker/security-audit tools). It's worth moving to a paid plan once you consistently bump into that ceiling, need to remove branding, or want features the free tier holds back.
