Fenix is a desktop application that provides a visual GUI for creating and managing local static web servers, with features like one-click public sharing of localhost, HTTPS, and realtime server configuration toggles. It also includes a CLI and API for programmatically controlling servers, aimed at JAM Stack and frontend development workflows.

Use cases

• run a local static web server with a gui
• share my localhost with a client over a public link
• manage multiple local dev servers visually
• serve a jamstack site locally with https
• prettify and markdown when serving files locally
• create web servers from the command line
• import a remote codebase and run it locally

When to choose

• you want a visual, point-and-click alternative to nginx or python http.server for static sites
• you need to demo local work to colleagues via a secure public URL
• you juggle many local servers and want saved, reusable configurations
• you want a bundled CLI/API alongside a GUI for server management

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade or high-performance web server
• you require Linux support or automated updates
• you need a headless server solution without a desktop GUI
• you want actively developed software with frequent releases
