Turn on/off Developer Mode

Turn Developer Mode on or off in Nimbalyst to show or hide the terminal, git worktrees, and the other git features you may not need.

Nimbalyst has two application modes. Standard Mode keeps the interface focused on writing, editing, and AI assistance; Developer Mode adds the terminal, worktrees, and git tooling. Turn on Developer Mode when you work with code; leave it off if those features would just be clutter.

What Developer Mode Adds

The following features are only available in Developer Mode:

Terminal
Worktrees
Many git features, such as Pull Request mode

Git-related features also require the project to be a git repository. Everything gated behind Developer Mode is described on the developer tools page.

Turning Developer Mode On or Off

Open Settings.
Go to Advanced.
Under Application Mode, choose Standard Mode or Developer Mode.

The Advanced Settings panel with Application Mode cards for Standard Mode and Developer Mode, Developer Mode selected — Choose Standard Mode or Developer Mode under Settings, Advanced, Application Mode.
