DevTerminal is a normal macOS terminal (your shell, your config) where every tab knows what project it's in. ⌘R in an Android app installs it on your phone and streams logcat. In an iOS app it launches in the Simulator or on your iPhone. Spring Boot, Next.js, Flutter, React Native, Rust, Go, Django, Rails and more just work. Run output sits under your shell, so Claude Code keeps the tab. $39 once, no subscription.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Nayan.
I build an iOS app, its Android version, a Spring Boot backend and a couple of Next.js sites, mostly on my own. Every morning that meant Xcode, Android Studio, IntelliJ and VS Code open at once, mostly so I could press Run in each one. And these days Claude Code writes a lot of my code in a terminal anyway.
So I built DevTerminal: a normal macOS terminal (your shell, your config) where every tab knows what project it's in, and has a Run button.
• Android: ⌘R builds, installs on your phone or emulator, launches the app and streams logcat. You can install emulators from a menu without opening Android Studio.
• iOS: builds and launches in the Simulator or on your iPhone, with the console attached.
• Spring Boot, Next.js, Node, Flutter, React Native, Rust, Go, Django, Rails, .NET: it finds the right command. Anything else gets a one-line .devterminal.json.
• Run output goes to a panel under your shell, with find and filter, so Claude Code keeps the tab and the logs stay in view.
• Chrome-style tabs, one per project, and Xcode's keys: ⌘R run, ⌘B build, ⌘U test.
It doesn't replace the toolchains. Xcode and the Android SDK still do the building. It replaces opening four IDEs to use them.

What should Run support next? I'm around all day to answer questions.
the pitch holds up right until the moment you need to set a breakpoint. for a lot of people the reason the four IDEs stay open isn't the run button, it's that occasionally you need to stop execution and inspect a variable, and that's a debugger attached to the build, not a shell your run output lands in. when that moment hits, does DevTerminal hand off to lldb/jdb in a usable way, or is pulling up the real IDE still part of the workflow for that one case? if it's the latter, the honest claim is closer to "skip the IDE for most of your run cycles" rather than "replace the IDEs," which is still a real win, just a narrower one than the headline suggests.
running on a physical iphone without having it plugged in every time would be huge, wireless debugging always feels flaky for me in xcode
