Vaporware is the missing piece for Swift server-side development. Open the app and your Vapor projects just work locally — no terminal wrestling with `swift run`, no Docker configs, no manual database setup. It’s [Herd](https://herd.laravel.com) for the Vapor ecosystem: a native Mac app that manages your local servers, Swift toolchains, databases, and domain routing so you can focus on writing code.
Open any Vapor project and it runs immediately — Vaporware detects your `Package.swift`, resolves dependencies, and starts the server. Or scaffold a fresh one from Pixla Sites.
Switch between Swift toolchains per project, so each app builds with exactly the version it expects. No global conflicts and no manual swiftenv gymnastics.
Built-in PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis, ready the moment you need them. Create, inspect, and manage every one from a clean GUI — no command line required.
Reach your projects at `myapp.test` instead of `localhost:8080`, with automatic SSL on every one. No port numbers to remember, no certificate setup.
Real-time request logs, route debugging, and error inspection, all in a clean native interface. Filter, search, and pin the entries that matter most.
Manage per-project environment variables in a visual editor, with no `.env` files to hand-edit. Switch between development, staging, and testing configs instantly.
A built-in SMTP inbox catches every email your app sends in development. Test password resets, receipts, and notifications with zero setup — no external service.
Auto-provisioned databases, a visual database browser, menubar-persistent services, one-click publish to Pixla Hosting, and plenty more. See everything at [vaporwareapp.com](https://vaporwareapp.com).
Vaporware works seamlessly with Pixla Editor for Swift code editing and Pixla Hosting for deploying your Vapor apps to production. Build locally, edit code, ship to the world — all native Mac apps, all from one studio.
