Run scripts, manage dependencies, start servers, and execute any command connected to your live project. — Code Editor: Edit files, review diffs, and make updates in a responsive editor built for real workflows, not just quick glances. — Browser & DevTools: Preview your app, inspect elements, and monitor network requests without switching tools or environments. — File Explorer: Browse, create, rename, and delete files and folders across your entire project. — Git: Push, Pull, Commit, Manage branches, view old commits/diffs with ease. — Process Manager, Port Manager, API Client, String Tools and System Monitor. — All of this secured behind end to end encryption so you can work without worries. How It Works Lunel connects your phone directly to your local machine over a secure connection. Run one command in your project directory, scan the QR code, and you're in. Your laptop stays on while you work, Lunel handles the rest. Who It's For Lunel is built for developers who want to stay productive when they're away from their desk - on the couch, commuting, traveling, or anywhere a laptop isn't practical.
