We’re Back

RightPlace has been rebuilt from the ground up. What started as a WordPress management tool is now a full development workspace. One app for every site, server, and service you manage.

This is a closed beta. If you’re reading this, you’re one of the first to try it.


Projects

Everything lives inside projects. A project can hold WordPress sites, terminals, databases, documents, email accounts, and anything else you need. The sidebar gives you instant access to all your projects and resources. Open multiple tabs, split panes, and arrange your workspace however you like.


Resource Types

Each project is made up of resources. Here’s what you can add today:

  • WordPress Site - full site management (see below)
  • Terminal - local shell or remote SSH
  • Database - browse tables, run queries
  • Docs - Markdown documents attached to your project
  • Spreadsheet - tables, formulas, formatting
  • SFTP / FTP - remote file server access
  • Local Folder - browse files on your machine
  • Website - open and test any URL
  • Object Storage - S3-compatible storage (AWS, Cloudflare R2, etc.)
  • Email - project inbox (see below)
  • Design Tokens - manage your design system
  • QA Tests - visual regression, DOM checks, click-and-verify
  • Logs - view and search log files with level filtering
  • RobinPath - visual automation builder

More resource types are on the way.

App Themes

Customize how the app looks with a built-in theme editor. Adjust colors, backgrounds, and accents to match your preference. Switch between light and dark mode, or build your own theme from scratch.


Privacy and Security

Your data is encrypted end-to-end. Private keys never leave your device. Everything is stored locally first. Sync is optional and always encrypted.


Multi-Device Sync

Pair your devices and keep everything in sync. Edit offline on any machine and changes merge automatically without conflicts.


Why Rust

RightPlace is built on Tauri with a Rust backend. We chose Rust because it gives us the performance and memory safety we need without the overhead of a traditional framework. The entire core runs natively on your machine. Encryption, file operations, database access, terminal rendering, sync, and networking all happen in compiled Rust code.

The result is an app that starts fast, stays responsive, and uses far less memory than an Electron-based alternative. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux.


What’s Next

  • Email template editor
  • Simple page editor powered by Astro, deployed to Cloudflare and WordPress
  • Access Vault for storing credentials, SSH keys, API keys, and TOTP codes
  • RobinPath automations
  • AI stuff
  • More enhancements for each resource and feature

We’re shipping updates frequently as we move toward a public release.
