## About
Phost is a email debugging tool and local SMTP server, developed primarily in PHP.
Instead of sending your development emails to Mailtrap or MailHog, you can use Phost to debug your emails inside a beautiful self-contained desktop app.
We leverage a powerful stack of modern technologies:
- [**Laravel/Livewire**](https://livewire.laravel.com/) -> For dynamic, reactive interface
- [**NativePHP**](https://nativephp.com/) -> Electron wrapper for PHP built apps
- [**ReactPHP**](https://reactphp.org/) -> Powering the SMTP server component
While Phost may not yet match the feature set (or stability) of some paid alternatives, it serves as an exploration of the capabilities of a native PHP stack.
## Features
- Local SMTP server for intercepting and viewing emails
- User-friendly interface for email inspection
- Debug email source, both HTML, text & headers
- Bookmark emails for quick access
- Light & dark color schemes
- Print emails as PDF
## Getting started
At present, only a macOS build is available. Windows and Linux builds are pending due to lack of testing environments. Contributions from users with access to these platforms are more than welcome.
[Download the latest release here](https://github.com/gwleuverink/phost/releases).
## Supporting the Project
To distribute Phost on macOS, the application needs to be signed and notarized through the Apple Developer Program, which costs €100 annually. If you find Phost useful, please consider supporting its development and maintenance through [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/gwleuverink). Your support helps cover these costs and enables continued development of this open-source tool.
