Laravel Herd Pro is the professional version of the native PHP development environment: all-in-one solution—from website launching to debugging, service management, and testing—without containers, dependencies, or headaches.

Peculiarities:

• Zero setup: One-click installation, no Homebrew, Docker, or VM required
• Native speed: Direct launch of PHP, nginx, and dnsmasq binaries — faster than containers
• Auto-domains: All sites are automatically accessible via *.test
• Multi-version PHP: Easy switching between PHP 7.4–8.5, linking versions to sites
• CLI integration: PHP, Composer, Laravel, and Node are available in the terminal immediately
• Migration from Valet: Automatic transfer of sites, certificates, and settings
• Forge integration: Deploy to remote servers in one click

• Intercept dump()/dd() in a separate window with syntax highlighting
• Filtering by type: variables, database queries, jobs, views, logs, HTTP requests
• Saving history between requests
• SMTP server on port 2525: all emails are intercepted and not sent outside
• Viewing HTML/text version, attachments, headers
• Convenient search and filtering of logs by projects and files
• Go to a line of code in your IDE from the log
• Start/stop databases and caches in one click: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, Memcached, Meilisearch, Typesense, MinIO, Laravel Reverb
• Configuring ports, versions and parameters for each service
• Automatically enable Xdebug only when there is a debug request
