MacFullStack is a macOS 14+ app for Apple Silicon. It runs a local PHP stack: WordPress, Laravel, Bitrix, and any other site from an archive or git clone.
Native is the default — no Docker Desktop. Docker is there when you want container isolation. Both modes share the same project URLs and HTTPS.
Projects live under ~/MacFullStack/www and open as http://{name}.localhost (optional custom zones and aliases like .test).
Who it is for
- PHP developers on Mac
- Studios that want one local stack without manual brew/compose setup
- Anyone who prefers a GUI on top of the
macstackCLI
What’s in the stack
PHP, nginx, MySQL or MariaDB, Redis, mail (Mailpit), phpMyAdmin. Pro adds Postgres, search, MinIO, Next/Django, the Clients cabinet, and other services.
Native and Docker data stores stay separate. Native services may show Install until their component is downloaded.
