What is Rig?
Rig is a Mac app that discovers, starts, stops, and watches the processes behind your projects — with shared logs, ports, and a local MCP hub for AI editors.
What it is not
- Not a hosted IDE or cloud coding VM
- Not a replacement for Docker Desktop when you need containers
- Not a requirement to use cloud — the Mac app stays useful offline
Who it’s for
Solo developers and small teams juggling multi-service apps, Laravel/Valet, AI agents, and more than one Mac.
