Personal Web Server
Personal Web Server is a small HTTP web server application for macOS that allows users to run a basic web server directly on their Mac. It enables individuals to host simple websites, test web content locally, or run a minimal intranet server from a personal computer without needing complex server software. The app is intended for home users, web developers testing projects, and small office environments that need lightweight local web hosting capabilities.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find any recent information about Personal Web Server — no official vendor site, release notes, or public updates appeared in our search. Based on the bundle ID and name, this appears to be a niche utility from Dayana Networks that may no longer be actively maintained. To determine your path forward, we recommend contacting the original developer directly to ask whether they have plans to ship a native Apple Silicon build before September 2028. If they have abandoned the project, Intel-only builds will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). As an alternative, you could run a native open-source web server like NGINX or Apache through Homebrew (both run natively on Apple Silicon), or use a lightweight containerised web server environment — both approaches offer more flexibility and ongoing support than a standalone proprietary app.
