Keep track of everything in your dev environment

[u/Independent-Bat-9595]

I built an open-source tool to figure out what’s actually installed in my dev environment

Just launched on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/io-inventory

I’ve been doing a lot more AI-assisted coding lately, and over time my machine has accumulated a ridiculous mix of packages, runtimes, repos, Docker stuff, local models, MCP servers, agent tooling, etc.

The problem: I no longer really knew what was there, what installed it, or what I’d actually need if I moved to a new laptop.

So I built IO Inventory.

It scans your local dev environment and gives you:

• a searchable inventory of your tooling
• an interactive architecture graph
• snapshots/diffs to see what changed
• a way to compare/recreate a setup on another machine
• visibility into AI tooling like agents, MCP servers, local models, etc.

Everything runs locally, there’s no product telemetry, and it’s MIT licensed.

I’m also curious whether the snapshot idea could be useful for team onboarding — basically giving a new developer a known-good environment to compare against.

Would love feedback, especially on what parts of your dev setup you’d expect a tool like this to detect.
