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
