Donk, right inside
your editor.

Manage servers, databases, runtimes, and secrets from the VS Code sidebar. Start, stop, restart, view logs, toggle tunnels — all without leaving the editor.

You're deep in a coding session. Focus mode. You need to restart a server because you changed an env var. Alt-tab to Donk, find the server, click restart, alt-tab back... or you could just click the restart icon in the VS Code sidebar and never leave the editor.

The Donk VS Code extension connects to the running Donk daemon and exposes everything through sidebar panels. Servers, databases, runtimes, secrets, workers, commands — all in a tree view. Click to start/stop. Right-click for more actions. Logs stream in a dedicated output channel.
