The desktop app

Devid.app: a menu-bar icon with the same pages as the TUI.

Devid.app is a menu-bar icon with a window that has the same pages as the TUI: Sites, PHP, Server, Logs and Settings. It is optional: your sites run without it.

# at the first install, in one command (no sudo for the app itself):
curl -fsSL https://github.com/hadziqmtqn/devid-binaries/releases/download/devid-latest/install.sh | sh -s -- --gui
# or later, in a new terminal:
devid setup --gui              # install it into ~/Applications; open it from Spotlight
devid login-item on            # show its menu-bar icon after every login (default: off)

Without --gui, Devid installs no app.

  • Gatekeeper: the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Installed by devid setup --gui, it opens without a prompt. If you download Devid-darwin-x86_64.zip in a browser instead, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Devid.app after unzipping it.
  • Menu bar: the icon shows whether Devid runs, and a dot when updates are available. Its menu starts, stops and restarts everything, and opens the window or Settings.
  • Dock: the app is in the Dock and in Cmd+Tab only while its window is open. At other times it is a menu-bar icon (under 10 MB, no CPU at idle).
  • Updates: devid self-update updates the app together with devid once the app is installed. An open window keeps the old version until you close it.
  • Removal: devid uninstall removes the app.
