If you're looking for a good local development environment, Devaron is an all-in-one app that replaces the usual tangle of installers and config files. It bundles the servers, databases and tools you need, manages them with one click, and stays out of your way — one modern app, one lightweight installer and no config-file grind.

Everything in one app

All the pieces of a real web stack, managed from a single clean interface.

Web servers & languages

Apache and Nginx, PHP with multiple versions, Node.js and Python — start, stop and switch versions in a click. An optional watchdog auto-restarts a service if it crashes.

A PHP version per site

Pin a different PHP version to each project (with a global default), on Apache and Nginx alike. Most tools only do this globally — Devaron does it per site.

Databases

MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and Memcached, plus Meilisearch as a built-in search engine. Manage them in the browser with phpMyAdmin and Adminer (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite).

Built-in database manager

Browse, edit and query your databases right inside the app — tables, inline cell editing, structure and SQL, phpMyAdmin-style. Works with local servers and your own remote MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL.

Sites & domains

Every folder in your www becomes a site automatically. Pretty URLs (virtual hosts) with your own domain suffix, local SSL/HTTPS, and Laravel/Symfony public folders detected.

Share to the internet

One click puts any site online with a public URL via Cloudflare Tunnel (no account) or ngrok — choosing the web server and HTTP/HTTPS.

Create a site in one click

New project right from the app: blank, Laravel, Symfony, WordPress or Node + Vite — it scaffolds the folder, picks the PHP version and can create the database for you. You can also start one by cloning a Git repository.

Reverse proxy & phone QR

Point a pretty domain at any local port (Vite, Node, Python) with a reverse proxy, and open any site on your phone with a QR code over the same Wi-Fi.

Utilities & quick commands

A built-in dev toolbox — JSON, URL encode, color, QR, JWT, hashes, Base64, UUID, timestamps and a port finder — plus quick system commands and a Ctrl+K palette.

Developer tools

Git, Composer, phpMyAdmin, Adminer and Mailpit for catching test emails. A terminal that already knows your environment (PHP, Node, Composer on PATH).

Task scheduler

Run commands on a schedule inside the Devaron environment — perfect for the Laravel scheduler, queue jobs and maintenance scripts.

Dashboard & logs

Live CPU, memory, disk, GPU and network usage, quick links, and real-time logs for every service.

Quality of life

Portable app layout, lightweight installer, system tray, run at startup, auto-update, dark/light themes and multiple languages.

Feedback in one click

Found a bug or have an idea? Send it straight from the app — no account, no forum hunting.

Command-line installer

Install from scripts or winget flows with DevaronInstaller.exe --silent and --dir "C:\Devaron".

Why developers pick Devaron

Per-site PHP

Run legacy and modern projects side by side — PHP 7.4 here, 8.4 there — without ever touching a config file.

Truly portable

A small installer puts everything in one folder, with no registry mess. You can still move or back it up like a portable stack.

One-click sharing

Show a client your work in seconds with a public URL — no deploy, no setup.

Native & modern

A fast, clean desktop app — not a stack of scripts. Dropdowns, icons, dark mode, your language.

Free

Free to use, forever. If it saves you time, a donation keeps it growing.

Frameworks ready

Laravel, WordPress, Symfony and any PHP/Node project run out of the box — public folders and pretty URLs included.

Frequently asked questions

Is Devaron free?

Yes — completely free to use. Devaron is not open source, but it's free and supported by optional donations.

Is it open source?

No. The source isn't public, but the app is free for everyone and always will be.

Can I really run a different PHP version per project?

Yes. Pick a PHP version per site (with a global default) and Devaron routes each one correctly on both Apache and Nginx.

How do I manage my databases?

phpMyAdmin and Adminer are built in. Adminer alone manages MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite from the browser; MongoDB works great with MongoDB Compass.

Which platforms are supported?

Devaron runs on Windows today with a lightweight installer that downloads the latest package and supports silent command-line installs. macOS and other platforms are on the way.

How is Devaron different?

Devaron bundles everything — Apache, Nginx, per-site PHP, multiple databases and one-click sharing — in one modern, portable app, with a lightweight installer and no config-file grind.
