The desktop app for local development
Rig is a desktop app for local development on Mac and Windows: a control plane that discovers, starts, stops, and watches every process in your project from one window. It groups scripts, Procfiles, Laravel artisan sidecars, and managed Postgres or Redis, streams their logs together, and owns the ports they bind so you stop running lsof. A local MCP hub lets Cursor, Claude, Codex, Windsurf, or VS Code read health, logs, and ports, and restart a crashed service without a raw shell. Your source code stays on disk. Optional Rig Cloud syncs catalog metadata, Live Links, and encrypted Continuity backups across machines — never the repo. Rig is not a hosted IDE, not a cloud coding VM, and not a PHP runtime. Laravel Herd and Valet still serve PHP; Rig sits beside them when you also run Vite, queues, APIs, and AI agents. The desktop app is free forever on the Hobby plan for Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13 or later) and Windows 11.

What is Rig?
Rig is a process manager for local development on Mac and Windows. One window starts, stops, and watches the processes in a project — scripts, Procfiles, logs, and ports — on a Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) or a Windows PC.
Does my source code leave my computer?
No. Source stays on your computer. Optional Rig Cloud syncs preferences, project groups, and encrypted Continuity backups. It does not upload the repo.
What does Rig cost?
Rig is free on your computer forever on the Hobby plan. Mesh is the paid line: Pro is $15 a month, Team is $25 a seat, and Agency is $149 a month with 3 seats. Yearly billing saves 20%. Full plans are at https://userig.app/pricing.
