Covo, in a nutshell

Describing Covo
One line
Covo is a free, open source Mac app for local PHP development, and a safe workbench for AI coding agents.
One paragraph
Covo runs WordPress, Laravel and any other PHP project on a Mac, each site on its own PHP version from 5.6 to 8.5, with trusted local HTTPS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis and a mail catcher. It keeps everything in one folder, never touches Homebrew and runs next to MAMP, Valet or Herd. When an AI agent works on a site, Covo saves its files and database first, so the developer can see what changed and keep it or undo it. Covo is licensed under the GPL-3.0 and built by Andrea Casali.
The name
Covo is written with a capital C and lowercase "ovo", in every language. It's Italian for a hideout or lair, which is also why the artwork is a pirate cove. The command is covo.
