Run PHP and Node.js projects side by side — no conflicts, no headaches. Everything you need in one beautiful desktop app.
New in v1.0.7: DevBox Pro now improves Windows service startup reliability, PHP runtime repair, and large database import workflows. It is designed for local development, demos, QA, and temporary previews, and is not meant for production use.
Think of it as your personal web server — packaged neatly inside a desktop app.
DevBox Pro is a desktop application for Windows that bundles everything a web developer needs to build and test websites on their own computer.
It includes PHP, Node.js, databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), web servers (Nginx, Apache), and many other tools — all managed through a simple, visual interface. No command-line knowledge required.
Built to solve the most common pain points of local web development.
Run PHP 7.4 for a legacy project and PHP 8.4 for a new one at the same time. Each project uses its own version — automatically.
PHP, Node.js, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached, Nginx, Apache, Mailpit, phpMyAdmin — all in one installer.
Create a new Laravel, WordPress, Symfony, or Node.js project with a single click. DevBox Pro handles installation, configuration, and domain setup.
Every project gets its own .test domain with a free SSL certificate. Browse your projects at https://myapp.test — just like production.
Expose a project with Cloudflare Tunnel or zrok when you need remote QA, client review, or off-network testing without deploying it.
Use php, npm, composer, and mysql commands directly from any terminal. DevBox Pro auto-detects which versions to use for each project.
