Everything for local web development — in one app, in your look.

One dashboard for everything

The state of your environment at a glance: running services, your sites and the isolated sandbox — with one-click start/stop for everything.

Unlimited local sites

Spin up projects with their own .test domains and HTTPS — the right PHP or Node version per site.

All services under control

nginx, Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Mailpit & more — start, stop, pick versions, in one click.

Local AI with specialists

Chat with language models that run entirely on your Mac — Ollama as a managed service, models rated for your hardware. Premium binds specialists with instructions and file context right into your chats.

Client sites at a glance

Uptime, SSL and domain expiry, Lighthouse scores and SEO audits with JSON-LD checks — grouped per client and fully local. No client data passing through third-party clouds.

The toolbox — completely free

JSON, regex, diff, encoders, a colour tool with screen picker, 200,000+ icons with licence guidance, code sandboxes running your real php.ini, and an HTML builder for Bootstrap & Tailwind.

Databases & DB browser

Manage MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL, create databases and users — with a built-in Adminer to browse the data.

Configs under control

Edit php.ini, web server and service configs right in the app — with an editor, presets and instant apply.

Catch mail (Mailpit)

Every outgoing mail from your projects lands in the built-in Mailpit viewer — read and check without real delivery.

Follow logs live

Watch service and site logs live in the app — including your own log files, without hunting in the terminal.

Scheduled tasks (cron)

Run commands on a cron schedule with a UI instead of crontab — including status, output and history.

Scheduled project backups

Bundle folders and databases into backup sets, categorised and scheduled — with retention and safe restore.

Built-in API client

HTTP requests of any kind with tests, environments and saved requests — like Postman, right in the app.

Remote via SSH/SFTP

Connect to your servers: an embedded terminal and a dual-pane SFTP file manager — browse, edit, transfer.

Virtual machines

Test whole systems locally without a setup marathon: fetch an image right in the app — always the current release, checksum verified — set RAM, cores and disk, hit start. Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, Fedora and Rocky are included; older versions are one dropdown away.

Obsidian-compatible notes

A Markdown notes vault with editor, preview and split view — fully compatible with your Obsidian files.

Your terminal, organised

Manage and import shell aliases in a UI, generate SSH keys, maintain SSH hosts and known_hosts — one place instead of scattered dotfiles.

Subscription costs at a glance

Hosting, domains, tools: every recurring cost with amount, cycle and notice period. The dashboard and macOS widgets show the monthly total and what is due next.

WebDonkey bundles what otherwise takes separate apps and subscription services. We only count money where no adequate free alternative exists — all reference values are current list prices, checked in August 2026.

Already included in Free

No savings promise here — much of this exists scattered across free websites. The point is a different one:

  • Complete local server stack: sites, custom domains, HTTPS, PHP/Node versions, terminal shims
  • Developer utilities: JSON, regex, diff, encoders, hashes, generators
  • PHP scratchpad with your real php.ini — no website can do that
  • Colour tool with screen picker, palettes & contrast check
  • Icon browser with 200,000+ free icons and licence guidance
  • HTML builder for Bootstrap & Tailwind with live preview

Everything runs locally and offline in one place — instead of 20 browser tabs you paste code and data into. And the PHP scratchpad uses your real php.ini with your extensions, which no website can do.

People who buy native apps for this pay 150–200 €. You don’t have to — Free costs 0 €.

Added with Premium

This is where the real maths lives: services that otherwise run as monthly subscriptions — with no free alternative that holds up for serious work.

  • Mail, database & log viewer right in the app elsewhere the pro upgrade: ~99 €/year
  • Website monitoring: uptime, SSL & domain expiry, Lighthouse & SEO audits elsewhere from 15 €/month
  • SSH client with terminal & SFTP file manager elsewhere ~10 €/month
  • Mail testing with a local inbox for all sites elsewhere from 14 €/month
  • Scheduled project backups: folders & databases, with restore elsewhere from 13 €/month
  • API client: saved requests, collections, environments, history elsewhere from 9 €/month

On top at no extra cost: Obsidian-compatible notes, ready-made project packages, unlimited cron jobs, a global php.ini and the floating-seat licence for multiple machines.

As individual subscriptions: roughly 60 € per month.

Comparable individual subscriptions ≈ 60 € / month
WebDonkey Premium 7.99 € / month

Over 600 € saved per year — and everything runs locally on your Mac, without project or client data passing through third-party clouds.

Reference values are official list prices of typical standalone services in each category, checked in August 2026 — deliberately without naming individual vendors. Categories with adequate free alternatives are not counted. See the Free/Premium comparison for features and limits.
