Yerd
LiveAn open-source, Docker-free local PHP environment for macOS and Linux — automatic HTTPS, per-site PHP versions, zero-config sites. A direct alternative to Laravel Herd for developers.
What to know▼
- How it works
- A local PHP development environment: park a folder and every project inside becomes instantly live at .test; issues per-site HTTPS certificates automatically; installs multiple PHP versions side by side, pinned per site; runs MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis and an SMTP catcher as native processes supervised by one daemon; streams Laravel dump()/dd(), queries, jobs and requests to a dedicated window.
- What's different
- Open-source, rootless and Docker-free — a direct alternative to Laravel Herd, MIT licensed with every feature included.
- Pricing
- Open-source, no subscription.
- Best for
- macOS and Linux developers running local PHP/Laravel projects who want to avoid Docker.
