Kythia Workspace v0.1.0
Kythia Workspace v0.1.0 - Initial Public Release
Welcome to the very first public release of Kythia Workspace!
Kythia Workspace is a next generation, blazingly fast, and natively isolated local development environment built as a modern alternative to legacy tools like Laragon or resource heavy containers like Docker Desktop.
Built from the ground up using Tauri v2, Rust, and React, this initial release brings a massive leap in performance and developer experience to Windows.
Highlights in this Release
- Microscopic Footprint: Enjoy a fully functional dev environment that consumes a fraction of the RAM (~100-140MB) compared to Electron-based alternatives.
- Native Service Orchestration: Install, start, and stop multiple services independently with zero blocking UI issues.
- Auto-Configured Local Domains: bye bye
localhost:8080. Kythia automatically configures yourhostsfile and provisions an Nginx reverse proxy so you can use beautiful.testdomains instantly! - Smart Port Conflict Detection: Never guess why a service won't start. Built-in port scanning identifies rogue PIDs holding your ports hostage.
- System Tray Agent: Quietly runs in the background. Rapidly toggle your entire stack on or off via the mini-dashboard in your system tray.
Supported Stacks Out-of-the-Box

- Web Servers: Nginx
- Runtimes: PHP (FastCGI)
