FlyEnv
What it is
FlyEnv is a cross-platform desktop application for managing local development environments, including runtimes, databases, web servers, AI tools, and other local services. Its native workspace supports container-free workflows and offline operation. Developers can install and switch among language runtimes such as PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, and Rust, then scope runtime settings to individual projects. Those settings are stored in a .flyenv file and control the toolchain used by terminals, editors, and run commands. The local-site module includes controls for custom domains, document roots, ports, PHP binding, rewrite rules, reverse proxies, and HTTPS. Listed database integrations include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Qdrant, ClickHouse, and Neo4j. FlyEnv also lists integrations with AI tools and services. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 3 local sites and 3 custom projects per runtime. The Pro License costs $10 once and adds unlimited local sites and custom projects, among other tools; each paid license permits one active device at a time. FlyEnv is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is intended for personal or business development use.
