Projects Organizer turns a messy Recent Projects list into a structured catalog with nested groups, tags, favorites, linked projects, notes, docs links, and fast search — right inside your JetBrains IDE.
Key Features
- Hierarchical groups — organize projects by teams, clients, or architecture with unlimited nesting and colored icons.
- Linked Projects — bind related microservices together and open the entire set in one action.
- Tags & filtering — label projects (backend, frontend, client-X…) and filter instantly with autocomplete.
- Favorites — star important projects so they always appear at the top.
- Quick Open (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) — find and open any project in a second without leaving the editor.
- Auto-discover — point to a folder and the plugin detects all projects inside by markers (.idea, .git, pom.xml, build.gradle, package.json, etc.).
- Drag & Drop — drop a folder from Finder / Explorer straight into the catalog.
- Notes & documentation links — attach context, Wiki URLs, Jira links, or Confluence pages to each project.
- Startup Command — run a terminal command automatically when a project opens (docker-compose up, npm install, etc.).
- Usage statistics — see open counts and last-used dates for every project.
- NDA Filter — hide confidential projects during screen sharing.
- Import / Export — back up or transfer your entire catalog as JSON.
- Settings Sync — automatic catalog synchronization between machines via IntelliJ Settings Sync.
- Sync notification — balloon notification when the catalog is updated from the cloud.
Multilingual UI: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
Free and open for all JetBrains IDE users who juggle many repositories and want a fast, structured project hub.
