Cleanup Duplicate Old Apps

I vibe-coded SymLynx, my first VS Code Extension, last time. It turned out to be easier and more useful than I thought. So here’s a second one: AL Pocket Tools.

AL Pocket Tools

AL development involves many small tasks. None of them is too difficult, but they take time and constantly interrupt your flow. I want to build something to make my work easier.

That’s where AL Pocket Tools comes in. It is a collection of utilities for Dynamics 365 Business Central developers working in AL. It should be small, fast, and shouldn’t affect the performance.

Features

Here are some of the features available:

  • Cleaning old .app files.
  • Nuke .alpackages.
  • Save and load launch.json.
  • Updating versions.
  • Navigating region blocks.
  • Navigating report triggers.
  • Navigating pragma.
  • Refactor procedure visibility.

I built these tools because I needed them myself.

Try It.
