DevProjex 📁🌳

Visual project context builder for humans and AI

DevProjex is a cross-platform desktop application for quickly exploring folder/project structures, selecting what matters, and preparing clean, controlled context in ASCII or JSON (tree, file contents, or both) for clipboard and file export.

It’s designed for real projects where CLI output is noisy, IDE tools are unavailable or limited, and you need clarity, speed, and control.

> 🔒 Read-only by design — DevProjex never modifies your files.

What DevProjex does (short & honest)

✅ Does

Builds a visual tree of any folder or project
Lets you select files/folders via checkboxes
Supports drag & drop opening (folder or file path)
Copies:
- tree (selection-aware, falls back to full)
- content (selection-aware, falls back to all files)
- tree + content (selection-aware, falls back to full)
Exports:
- tree (.txt in ASCII mode, .json/.txt in JSON mode)
- content (.txt)
- tree + content (.txt, with selected tree format)
Shows preview output before copy/export
Shows live output metrics and operation progress in status bar
Restores previously applied parameters for each local project folder
Supports smart ignore rules (VCS, IDEs, build outputs)
Works well on large, layered projects

❌ Does not

Edit, rename, move, or delete files
Run code or modify your repositories (no commits/merges)
Export binary file contents
