Version 1.13.0 is a broader workflow update. The headline addition is a brand new CSV Editor, but this release also improves how DevKnife works with files across the system and adds a number of smaller refinements to existing tools.

New CSV Editor

DevKnife JSON tree value editor

The biggest new feature in this release is the new CSV Editor.

DevKnife can now open and edit CSV files in a native table view, making it much more practical to inspect structured data without switching to a spreadsheet app. You can edit cells directly, save changes back to disk, and work with rows and columns in a more natural way than raw text editing.

The CSV Editor also includes structural editing tools such as:

  • inserting and deleting rows
  • inserting, renaming, and deleting columns
  • unsaved draft restoration per window
  • support for creating new CSV files directly in the app

Better File Workflows

This release also expands how DevKnife fits into the rest of macOS.

Quick Look support has been added for several file types:

  • CSV
  • JSON
  • Markdown
  • HTTP Client files

That means you can preview those files directly in Finder without fully opening them first.

DevKnife already supported opening JSON files from Finder, and this release extends that file-opening workflow to Markdown, HTTP Client (.http), and CSV files as well. This makes the app behave more naturally as a file-based tool instead of only a scratchpad-style utility.

IndexNow and Time Inspector Improvements

Two existing tools also received meaningful upgrades.

IndexNow Profiles

IndexNow now supports multiple website profiles. This makes it easier to manage more than one site from the same tool, each with its own sitemap URL and API key, without repeatedly replacing the same settings.

Reorderable Time Zones

Time Inspector now lets you reorder saved time zones. This is a small change, but it makes the tool more comfortable to use when you rely on the same set of locations every day and want them in your own preferred order.

Additional Improvements

This release also includes a range of smaller changes across the app:

  • Fixed the Remove Time Zone button on macOS Tahoe.
  • Fixed an issue where the Color Palette editor could update the previously selected swatch.
  • Added new colors to Tailwind Colors.
  • Improved the copied-to-clipboard indicator in Tailwind Colors.
  • Improved spacing and visibility in Tailwind Colors, especially on light and dark backgrounds.
  • Added copy-to-clipboard buttons to Network Information.
  • Updated copy icons in Color Inspector to better match the rest of the app.
  • Increased sidebar icon size on macOS Tahoe.

Wrapping Up

That’s everything in 1.13.0. The new CSV Editor is the biggest addition, but the broader theme of this release is making DevKnife work more naturally with real files and day-to-day workflows across macOS.
