WPronto is a fast, lightweight WordPress development environment for Windows. One click starts Nginx, PHP and MariaDB. Ctrl+S / Ctrl+X hotkeys. Create WordPress sites automatically — databases, local domains (like myproject.wp) and files are configured for you. Built-in: phpMyAdmin, WP-CLI, one-click backup & restore, secure credential vault, light/dark themes. No bloated panels, no terminal, no telemetry. Free, open source (MIT).

Creator here 👋 I built WPronto because I was tired of wasting time on environment setup. Every time I needed to test a WordPress idea, I had to fight with XAMPP configs or wait for Docker to boot. So I created WPronto — a native Windows app that works as a local WordPress server. Press Start (or Ctrl+S) and it launches Nginx, PHP and MariaDB. Create a project and everything is configured automatically: database, local domain like `myproject.wp`, and WordPress files. It's completely free, open source (MIT), and has no telemetry or bloated control panels. Would love to hear your feedback! Try it out and let me know what you think. An upvote would mean a lot ❤️ Download: ovcharovcoder.github.io/wpronto/
