Frequently asked questions

How is MacFullStack different from Herd or MAMP?

MacFullStack is a full stack (PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, nginx, mkcert), Native by default without Docker, plus proxy for Next.js/Django. Free — one PHP project; Pro/Teams — unlimited projects and extra services. Compare.

Why is a local server so annoying?

Not one bug — the ritual: environment setup, different PHP versions, domains, foreign CMS archives, mail, deploy, and ten windows. MacFullStack bundles that into one app — see the “Local server” section on the home page.

How do I pay for Pro or Teams?

On pricing pick a plan → checkout → pay by card via T-Bank in RUB. The key arrives by email and in your account.

Is there a promo code?

Yes: LAUNCH10 gives −10% at checkout. You can pass it in the URL: /buy/pro?promo=LAUNCH10

Do I need Docker?

No. Native is the default. Docker is available when you want CI-like isolation.

How do I renew?

Reminders are sent 30, 14, and 3 days before expiry. Renewal is a new Pro/Teams purchase on the same email; activate the key in the app.

What is in Free?

One PHP project, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, Mailpit, phpMyAdmin. No Postgres, no Node/Python proxy, no Share.

Where are my projects stored?

~/MacFullStack/www/ (or legacy ~/MacStack/www/). App data lives in ~/Library/Application Support/MacFullStack/.

How do I contact support?
