FlyEnv
What FlyEnv is
FlyEnv is a desktop application for managing local development environments on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its workspace supports container-free workflows and offline operation. Developers can install, switch, and scope language runtimes such as PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, and Rust, including project-specific settings saved in a .flyenv file. Those settings guide the tools used by terminals, editors, and run commands. Local sites can be configured with custom domains, document roots, ports, PHP bindings, rewrite rules, reverse proxies, and HTTPS. Listed database integrations include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Qdrant, ClickHouse, and Neo4j; the product also lists integrations for AI tools and services. FlyEnv says it does not intentionally collect project source code, database contents, private keys, passwords, or environment variables unless users choose to share them for support. The Free plan allows 3 local sites and 3 custom projects per runtime. Pro costs 10.00 USD once, adds unlimited local sites and custom projects, and permits one active device at a time.
