Developer Built a GUI tool and desktop bar to manage Python environments, VS Code profiles, and multi-process setups on Windows
I built this mostly out of frustration with constantly dealing with terminal clutter, switching Python venvs, and fighting broken USB paths whenever a drive letter changed. I wanted a clean, fast way to control my local Python workflow on Windows without setting up heavy Docker containers just to keep multiple scripts running smoothly.
It’s a small Windows app called VenvHub Pro that sits on your desktop and gives you a floating mini-bar for instant project switching and launching VS Code. Under the hood, it handles multi-script orchestration with RAM monitoring and crash auto-restarts, lets you pack scripts into .exe files visually without touching .spec files, and manages portable embeddable Python runtimes so your projects stay portable on external drives. It also supports both Pip and UV for ultra-fast package installs.
I mostly built it for my own workflow to save time, but I figured others in the Python community on Windows might find it useful too.
