PHP Monitor is a lightweight native macOS menu bar utility that helps set up and maintain a local PHP development environment, including switching PHP versions globally or per-site, managing extensions, and integrating with Laravel Valet. It includes a Setup Assistant that guides users through installing Homebrew, PHP, Composer, and Valet, and offers First Aid features to automatically fix common PHP and Homebrew issues.
Use cases
- switch php versions on macos
- set up php development environment on a new mac
- manage php extensions without terminal commands
- serve local sites with laravel valet
- fix broken php or homebrew installation
- isolate php version per site
- see active php version in menu bar
When to choose
- you develop PHP, Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, or Drupal projects on macOS
- you want a GUI instead of typing Homebrew and Valet commands
- you need to switch between multiple PHP versions quickly
- you want guided onboarding for a fresh Mac setup
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows
- you do not use or want Homebrew-managed PHP
- you need a fully containerized or Docker-based PHP environment
- you prefer managing PHP purely via the command line
