Feature Highlights

Real-time Version Information

When you open a dependency file, Dependi immediately fetches version information from the appropriate registry and displays it inline:

serde = "1.0.152"     ✓
tokio = "1.35.0"      -> 1.36.0

Security First

All dependencies are checked against the OSV.dev vulnerability database. Known vulnerabilities are highlighted with severity indicators:

  • ⚠ CRITICAL - Immediate action required
  • ▲ HIGH - Action recommended
  • ● MEDIUM - Review when possible
  • ○ LOW - Informational

Smart Updates

Code actions understand semver and help you make informed update decisions:

  • ⚠ MAJOR - Breaking changes (requires review)
  • + minor - New features (safe)
  • · patch - Bug fixes (recommended)

Performance

  • Memory cache for fast access during sessions
  • SQLite cache persists data across restarts
  • Background fetching keeps UI responsive
  • Rate limiting respects registry limits

Configuration

All features can be enabled/disabled individually. See Configuration for details.
