Local is a local WordPress development environment tool by Flywheel (now part of WP Engine) that lets developers and designers spin up, manage, and test WordPress sites on their Mac without needing to manually configure servers, databases, or hosting. It provides a graphical interface to create multiple local WordPress instances, manage plugins and themes, and preview sites before pushing to production. The app is widely used by WordPress freelancers, agencies, and site builders who need a fast, isolated sandbox for client work and theme testing.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionLocal is an actively maintained application with ongoing development by WP Engine. The latest version of Local runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs — the developer has confirmed Universal Binary support in recent releases. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, you should update to the latest version from the official Local website, which will automatically serve the native build on M-series Macs. Check your current app version and run the built-in updater, or download the latest installer directly. The transition is seamless and provides better performance and reduced battery consumption during local development work.
