Dependency Health Dashboard
Stop running npm audit, composer audit, pip audit manually. See everything in one visual dashboard, across all your projects, automatically.
What It Does
Dependency Health Dashboard scans your project's dependencies and shows you instantly which packages are:
Vulnerable (known security issues)Outdated (newer versions available)Abandoned (no updates in 2+ years)Healthy (up to date and secure)
All in a clean sidebar panel with color-coded indicators — no terminal commands needed.
