Become a sponsor to Flock PHP

Hi! 👋

Flock is a free, open source app for local PHP and Laravel development on macOS, Windows and Linux. Everything runs as native processes, so there's no Docker and no virtual machine. You manage it all from the menu bar (or tray), or from the flock command line.

What Flock does

• .test domains with HTTPS. Point Flock at a folder and every project gets its own domain, like myapp.test, with a trusted certificate. No browser warnings.
• A PHP version per project. PHP 8.1 to 8.5 run side by side, and each project uses the version it needs. Node.js works the same way.
• Databases and services in one click. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Valkey, Meilisearch and more, started with your computer and ready when you are.
• A local mail inbox. Emails your apps send land in Flock instead of reaching real people, so you can test sign-ups and notifications safely.
• dump() output in one place. Dumps, queries, logs and views show up in a timeline grouped by request, with links straight to your editor.
• Xdebug when you need it. Step debugging is one click away and stays off the rest of the time, so your requests stay fast.
• Built for AI agents. A built-in MCP server lets coding agents read your sites, mail, dumps and errors.

Why sponsor

Flock is 100% free, forever. No paid tier, no account. Your sponsorship pays for:

• New features and fixes on all three platforms, kept in sync
• Code signing for macOS and Windows, so installs don't show security warnings
• The website, docs and release infrastructure

Flock is built and maintained by Guava. Thank you for your support! 💙
