One-click installers
WordPress, Laravel, Symfony, Node.js — fully configured with database, SSL, and vhost in under 30 seconds.
PHP per project
Run PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5 simultaneously. Each project gets its own version — no conflicts.
Trusted SSL certs
mkcert-powered certificates trusted by your Mac. No more browser warnings on https://mysite.test/.
Database manager
Create, drop, import and export databases from the UI. Includes phpMyAdmin with auto-login.
LocalSoft Doctor
One-click diagnostics that detects port conflicts, broken configs, expired certs and fixes them automatically.
Mailpit inbox
Catch all outgoing emails from your local apps. View, debug, and test email workflows without sending real mail.
Nginx + Apache
Run both web servers simultaneously. Choose per project. Switch without touching a single config file.
Xdebug toggle
Enable Xdebug per project with VS Code and PhpStorm integration. Debug PHP without configuration hell.
No Homebrew required
All binaries are bundled inside the app. Install LocalSoft and start coding — no package manager setup needed.
Snapshots
Freeze a site and its database before a risky migration, then roll back in seconds when the plugin update goes wrong.
Blueprints
Save a finished project as a template — plugins, theme, content and database — and start the next one from it.
Cloud backups
Send project files and databases to Google Drive or Dropbox on demand, and restore them just as easily.
Live links
Put the site you are working on behind a public HTTPS URL for a client, then close it when you are done.
Command palette
Press ⌘K to start a service, open a project or jump anywhere — the whole app from the keyboard.
WP-CLI and Composer
Both on your path, pointed at the right PHP version for that project, with a terminal one click away.
Import and clone
Point LocalSoft at an existing folder and it detects WordPress, Laravel, the database and the domain for you.
Redis and PostgreSQL
Beyond MySQL — Redis for cache and queues, PostgreSQL when your production stack calls for it.
