How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

The single review here is glowing, calling out the command palette for fast wp-admin navigation, the clean native-feeling UI, favourites, and the front-end Inspector for checking elements and copying selectors.

   I installed DevSniper while working on a client site and it immediately saved me time. The Cmd/Ctrl + K command palette is fast and genuinely useful for jumping through wp-admin and finding things without digging through menus. The UI feels clean and “native” to WordPress, and favourites make repeat actions even quicker. The front-end Inspector is the real bonus: hover to highlight, click to inspect (tag/ID/classes), copy selectors, and quickly understand where an element is coming from. For troubleshooting and editing workflows this is exactly the kind of tool WordPress has been missing. No tracking, no external calls, and it only loads for logged-in admins — that’s a big plus.Highly recommended for agencies, freelancers, and anyone managing multiple WordPress sites.
