The Indigo 2 main window: a running Laravel stack with its rack of services, the stack's sites and databases

Run all the things.

Nginx, Apache, PHP, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Mailpit. Every service is included, on every plan. Run all your projects—as many servers and PHP versions as you want—all at once if you like.

Say hello to instant.

No more waiting for your files to sync into your containers or VM. Indigo brings you the reliable, bare metal performance you always knew your Mac was capable of.

Set your Mac free.

Indigo will remind you just how powerful your Mac actually is. Services run natively, so your Mac runs silent and cool, just like it should.

Completely standalone.

Indigo installs its services completely independent of anything macOS or Homebrew has installed. Standard builds, standard config files, no proprietary abstractions: when you deploy to production, you already know how it works.

Batteries included.

Access your projects locally using any domains you wish, with automatic https—and no browser warnings. The built-in self-configuring reverse proxy means you can say goodbye to those hard-to-remember port numbers.

New in Indigo 2.

The biggest release in Indigo's history. Three of the headline acts:

A stack starts and Indigo writes DEV-ENVIRONMENT.md into the project, listing the stack's services and versions
Your coding agent, fully briefed.

Indigo writes a DEV-ENVIRONMENT.md into each project, so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other coding agents use the right binaries, first time.

The Stack Wizard's services step for Laravel 13, recommending Nginx, PHP 8.5 and MySQL 9
A specialist for every PHP framework.

The Stack Wizard speaks Laravel, WordPress, Drupal, Statamic, Craft, Symfony and more, and recommends services and versions to match.

A database tile is dragged from Indigo's Databases section onto the Desktop and lands as a .sql.gz export
Databases, handled.

Every database across all your stacks in one place. Exporting one? Drag it to your Desktop. That's all there is to it.

Up and running, fast.

Indigo 2 gets a new stack running 3.6× faster than Indigo 1, and starts existing stacks twice as fast.

Median of five runs: Nginx + PHP 8.3 + MySQL 8 stack, M1 MacBook Air, macOS 15.
