YerdLocal PHP, without the friction.

Serve your projects on .test domains over HTTP and HTTPS, run a different PHP version per site, and manage it all from one tiny daemon. No Docker, no sudo for everyday work, no subscription.

A tiny tray app over the whole toolchain - PHP, sites, services, mail, Laravel telemetry, and public sharing, all in one place.

Multiple PHP versionsMultiple PHP versions

Multiple PHP versions

Run as many PHP versions as you need, side by side. Set a global default, pin per-site versions, tune the shared ini settings, and update in place - every version is an isolated static build the daemon supervises.

Developer tooling, managedDeveloper tooling, managed

Developer tooling, managed

Composer, Node, and Bun installed onto your PATH alongside PHP and managed by Yerd - no global installs to collide with, no version juggling. Add or remove a tool in a click.

Every project, instantly servedEvery project, instantly served

Every project, instantly served

Park a folder and every project inside it is live on its own .test domain automatically, or link a single directory under a name you choose. Per-site PHP version and one-click HTTPS, all from one list.

Databases & caches on tap

Redis, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL supervised as native processes. Install a version, create and back up databases, and copy a ready-made Laravel .env - every installed engine starts with the daemon.

Catch every outgoing email

A built-in SMTP server captures everything your app sends during development so you can preview it - nothing ever leaves your machine. Copy the Laravel mail config and you're wired up in seconds.

dump() and dd() plus queries, jobs, views, requests, logs, cache, and outgoing HTTP - streamed live to a dedicated window with zero code changes, captured by a native PHP extension.
