NowDev Assistant Interface

The "Context Switch" tax is costing you hours.

Waiting for Global Navigator...

Stop Hunting for Sys_ids

You shouldn't have to reload the page just to find a sys_id. Deep-search the entire platform instantly.

Drowning in 20 browser tabs...

Stop Losing Focus

Every new tab you open breaks your flow. Peek at any record or logic right where you are.

Risky access & cluttered UI...

Secure & Role-Aware

NowDev detects your roles instantly, hiding advanced admin tools for ITIL users to maintain a focused, secure experience.

Universal Discovery

Search at the speed
of thought.

The native search wasn't built for developers. NowDev's Unified Search performs an incremental deep-scan across scripts, metadata, and 30+ tables simultaneously.

  • Find records by sys_id or number instantly
  • Search inside Business Rules & Client Scripts
  • Zero page loads or navigator lag

Context Preservation

Peek before you leap.

Need to check a referenced record? Don't navigate away. The Contextual Record Preview opens a high-fidelity form overlay right on top of your work.

  • Drill down recursively through references
  • Respects native Default Views & Headers
  • Maintain your scroll position and flow

Workflow Agility

Switch nodes,
not tabs.

Stop manually editing URLs to jump between Dev and Test. The Instance Switcher lets you hop between nodes while staying on the exact same record.

  • 1-click contextual environment switching
  • Color-coded visual guardrails for Production
  • Multi-node management in one sidebar
