Mac dev tools for freelancers
Freelance and agency developers on Mac use Rig when client work means switching stacks all day — WordPress for one client, Laravel for another, a Node prototype between calls. Rig boots each project group, shares a LAN QR or password-protected Live Link for a five-minute client review without deploying staging, and keeps merged logs when something crashes mid-demo. Lanes isolate branch, env, and port per client. Optional Rig Cloud syncs catalog metadata across a studio Mac and laptop; source never uploads. Rig complements Local, Herd, and Valet — it is the control plane when you juggle many local sites. See also local WordPress and use cases for agency walkthroughs.
