I would like to be able to open Rider without having to open a project or a solution similar to vscode and visual studio. at the moment when opening you are given a screen where you have to select a project.

Sometimes I want to just use the features in the IDE like connecting to a database, or using plugins like pull requests.

Hello,
 
Thank you for contacting JetBrains Support. I'm glad to work with you on this ticket. 
 
This feature is not yet implemented. I have created a feature request in our tracker: RIDER-123848 Support to open Rider without solution. Please upvote it to indicate your interest in the feature and subscribe to further status updates.
 
Rider supports to be opened directly via command line: rider /Path/To/Directory .If you're on Windows, the following workaround may help streamline your workflow: 

  1. Create a separate Rider shortcut for this scenario
  2. Create an empty folder, like "D:\dummyfolder"
  3. Modify shortcut target to direct Rider to always open a dummy folder, like below:


If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. Have a great day!

Regards,

Tom
