What's new in Joppa

New

• “Analyze the project after adding it” checkbox when adding a project.
• A “To get started, analyze the project” banner on projects not yet analyzed.

Improved

• Joppa no longer asks for HTTPS setup at launch; a “Set up HTTPS first” window appears only before an action that needs HTTPS.

Improved

• New macOS 26 app icon and a new drag-and-drop overlay.
• Redesigned macOS installer window.

Improved

• Internal improvements and fixes.

New

• “Report a bug” can include Joppa’s recent logs with “Attach the recent logs”, previewed before sending.
• Crash reports and anonymous usage statistics, sent only with your consent (EU hosting).

New

• Worktree environments: each git worktree gets its own domains, ports, .env and database (copied, empty or shared), in a “Worktrees” tab.
• Share a site on the local network (free, with a QR code) or through a public link (Pro: cloudflared, ngrok, localhost.run or Pinggy).
• Request inspector with replay (Pro): an “Inspector” tab with filters, details, “Replay” and “Edit and replay”.
• Idle dev servers go to sleep after 15 minutes without requests and wake up on the next one (shown as “asleep”).
• Database export and import, duplication, and snapshots (Pro) with an automatic snapshot before deletion.
• Team joppa.toml file for domains, services, runtime and worktrees.
• Migration from Lerd, Herd, DDEV and Sail, and built-in .test resolution.
• Laravel workers detected (queue, Horizon, scheduler, Reverb, Pail), and Xdebug for Joppa’s PHP on macOS.
• More joppa commands and MCP tools: processes, logs, .env, analytics, diagnosis and databases (joppa db).

Improved

• Better monorepo detection (pnpm workspaces, Lerna, Nx, Turbo) and PHP server detection.
• Updates are checked each time the window is reopened, and 5 seconds after launch.

Fixed

• A service is no longer started twice.
• A public share link only appears once it resolves, instead of failing when clicked too early.
• Compose import no longer fails while PostgreSQL restarts during its first start.

New

• Arch Linux support: a joppa-bin PKGBUILD published with each release.

Improved

• The CA is trusted in the right place for each Linux distribution (Arch, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian), and uninstalling goes through pacman or rpm when relevant.
• “Install git” button in “New project” on a Mac without git; the project is created without a repository instead of failing.

Fixed

• Creating a project with pnpm no longer stops on “Ignored build scripts”.

Improved

• The CA approval is requested on first launch, and the “CA not approved” item in the status bar opens an “Approve” popover.

Fixed

• Approving the CA on macOS works again.

New

• Vite+ installed by default on first launch, with Node LTS and bun, kept up to date daily, without touching your shell profile.
• Settings › Node, with the “Use Joppa’s Node in my terminals” switch.

New

• Approve the local CA in one click: a banner on first launch and a button in Settings.
• Automatic updates: a card in the sidebar and Settings › “Updates”, with signed downloads.

New

• “Report a bug” without an account (email verified with a 6-digit code), and a Documentation link in the sidebar.
• Settings › “Uninstall” removes the joppa command, the MCP server, the shell profile changes, containers, the CA, the license, Joppa’s folder and the app.
• joppa uninstall does the same from the terminal (–dry-run, –yes, –volumes, –keep).

New

• First public release of Joppa.
• Local projects served on .test domains with trusted HTTPS, through a built-in local certificate authority and reverse proxy.
• Project detection, a full .env editor and per-project domains.
• Dev servers started from Joppa with an integrated terminal, automatic restart after a crash, crash notifications and an option to start a project when Joppa opens.
• Services: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, Valkey, Mailpit, Typesense and Meilisearch, with container resources and logs.
• Project analytics: requests, latency, errors and dev server uptime.
• The joppa command: a TUI, scriptable commands and an MCP server, including new projects from templates.
• Interface in English, French, Spanish and Chinese.
• Free plan with unlimited projects, and Joppa Pro.
