From first install to workspace policy.

Install Dep Beacon

Choose your editor and open your first manifest.

Connect your workspace

Understand default catalogs, named catalogs, and shared policy.

Read security signals

Separate available updates from reported vulnerability risk.

Make it yours

Adjust registry, privacy, display, and installation settings.

Read the signal

Dep Beacon combines npm metadata, semver-aware update targets, pnpm catalog resolution, and OSV advisories. Version status and security risk stay distinct, so you can decide what needs attention.

Up to date: Your declared range already accepts the latest stable version.
Update available: A newer target is available. Choose patch, minor, major, or latest.
Needs attention: Review missing packages, invalid ranges, or reported security risk.

At home in your manifests

package.json: Dependency sections, npm overrides, Yarn resolutions, and pnpm-specific blocks.
pnpm-workspace.yaml: Default and named catalogs, overrides, and package extensions. The .yml extension works too.
Your editor: Inspect a dependency, choose an update, or use VS Code commands to refresh signals, sort manifests, and run installs.
