FlyEnv

Install, Switch, and Run Local Dev Stacks Natively

<p> <strong>FlyEnv is a desktop app for managing local development environments on Windows, macOS, and Linux.</strong><br> Install and run PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, Flutter, web servers, databases, queues, AI tools, SSL, local domains, reverse proxies, and cron jobs from one UI.<br> Use native binaries, switch versions per project, and keep your system PATH clean—<strong>no Docker required</strong>. </p>

Best for web, backend, mobile, and full-stack developers who want local services without container overhead.

What Can You Do With FlyEnv?

• Install runtimes on demand: PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, Flutter, Go, Rust, Ruby, Bun, Deno, and more.
• Run local services: Nginx, Apache, Caddy, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Minio/RustFS, and other common development dependencies.
• Manage projects: Switch runtime versions per project, define start/stop commands, expose projects through local domains, reverse proxies, HTTPS, and Cloudflare Tunnel.
• Handle daily dev tasks: Edit configs and logs, inspect ports, schedule cron jobs, manage Git, generate certificates, compare diffs, test WebSocket/SSE, and work with JWTs.

Your environment adapts to your project, not the other way around—versions switch automatically as you move between projects:

cd ~/projects/legacy-wordpress
php -v   # PHP 7.4 (auto-loaded)
cd ~/projects/modern-laravel
php -v   # PHP 8.3 (auto-switched)

Is FlyEnv For You?

🚀 How FlyEnv Fits

Most local dev tools are either too heavy for everyday work (Docker Desktop) or too low-level for full-stack projects (NVM/Homebrew/package managers). FlyEnv sits in the middle: a native desktop manager for the tools and services you actually run while building software.
