Optional Docker mode for full parity. Works with Laravel, WordPress, Bitrix, and any uploaded project. Free for one PHP project; Pro unlocks Project Studio, Node/Python proxies, Postgres, FTP, Deploy, and Share.

Could you build this?
Partial A GUI desktop wrapper can be vibe-coded, but cleanly compiling, managing, and orchestrating native daemon binaries and system-level DNS/SSL on macOS without Docker is difficult.
What it would actually take: Likely built in Swift/SwiftUI or Tauri communicating with a privileged helper daemon (via ServiceManagement/SMJobBless). The hard engineering piece is maintaining pre-compiled, self-contained Apple Silicon universal binaries for multiple PHP versions, Nginx, MariaDB, and Redis, along with managing loopback networking, Unix sockets, and system CA trust stores (mkcert). This requires macOS systems programming and Unix daemon management skills.
