The one-liner

Corral is a native macOS app and CLI that gives every local JS/TS dev server a stable https://name.test URL.

The short version

Corral is a native macOS app and CLI for local JavaScript and TypeScript development. Projects run at stable .test domains with real HTTPS, Node versions are managed per project, and Cloudflare Workers get local data browsers for D1, KV, R2, Durable Objects, Workflows, and Secrets, plus live Durable Object method invocation. The core is free; Pro is $49/year.

The long version

Corral is a native macOS app and CLI that manages local development for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Register a project once and it runs at a stable URL like https://storefront.test with real HTTPS, its framework detected (Cloudflare Workers, Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, Astro, SvelteKit, Vite, or any dev script) and its Node version pinned from .node-version or .nvmrc. Cloudflare support runs deepest: wrangler configs are parsed into visible bindings with local data browsers, a live Durable Object method can be called from the app and its return value read back intact, and workers that call each other are grouped into stacks that start in dependency order. Local services such as PostgreSQL install as native binaries instead of Docker containers. The app and CLI share one background daemon, the app contains no telemetry, and Corral is built independently by one developer. It is currently in public beta.
