Native Apple Silicon PHP stack with AI agent safety
I love coding on Apple Silicon, but my local PHP stack was killing my productivity.
Every time I ran a basic WordPress or Laravel site, my Mac’s fans would roar. Legacy tools like MAMP feel stuck in the x86 era, and running Docker Desktop just for a simple local database felt like overkill—draining my RAM and battery in minutes.
So I built OXAMP: a lightweight, native arm64 web stack built from scratch in Swift and Rust.
The Big Fixes:
Native Speed: Apache, MariaDB, and PHP compiled strictly for Apple Silicon—boots instantly with zero Docker bloat.
AI Agent Protection: Since I use Cursor and Claude Code daily, I added built-in MCP guardrails so AI assistants can manage databases safely without accidentally dropping tables or wiping local settings.
No Subscriptions: 1-click WordPress/Laravel setups and dual-PHP switching for a one-time $29 fee.
I’m prepping for a broader launch and would love to know: How do you handle local PHP dev on Mac, and are you letting AI agents touch your local environments yet?
