Container Architecture

Zero System Impact

Nothing installs globally. Each project runs in isolated Docker containers, keeping your system clean and conflict-free.

Isolated Environments

PHP, MySQL, Redis in containers

No Conflicts

Multiple projects, no interference

Interface

Visual Management

Beautiful desktop interface that eliminates complex command-line operations. Manage your entire development stack with clicks, not commands.
