WorkerDockStart, find and stop each one by hand
Every project has its own folder, start command and port. Starting one means opening a terminal or asking your agent, then remembering which tab or process is which.
Cloudflare Workers manager for Mac
Run all your local
Cloudflare Workers
from one Mac app.
WorkerDock finds every Cloudflare Worker, Pages, Astro and EmDash project on your Mac. Start and stop them, stream their logs, see which D1, KV and R2 resources each one uses, and open the EmDash admin in one click.

The problem
Running more than one Worker locally is a chore.
Each project is easy to run. Several at once means a pile of terminals, ports and processes to keep track of.
Servers that keep running unseen
Close a tab or end an agent session and a dev server can keep running in the background, holding a port and eating CPU. Orphaned workerd processes are a documented example (#9193).
Wiring buried in config files
Which D1, KV and R2 resources a Worker uses is buried in its Wrangler config, and its local data sits in a .wrangler/state folder inside each project. Seeing the full picture means opening files.
WorkerDock puts all of this in one window. See the features
Features
Everything your local Workers need, in one window.
Point it at a folder. WorkerDock finds every project, works out how each one runs, and gives you one clean control panel for all of them.
- 1
Add a folder
Scans nested folders and monorepos for Wrangler projects.
- 2

Every project with its status, port and bindings.

Processes
Start, stop, restart. Cleanly.
WorkerDock picks the right command, a free port and the right folder. Stopping a project stops its workerd too, so nothing lingers.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is WorkerDock?
WorkerDock is a native Mac app that finds all the Cloudflare Workers, Pages and Astro projects on your machine and lets you start, stop and inspect them from one window, instead of juggling terminal tabs.
Is it free?
Yes. WorkerDock is free to download. If it proves useful, optional ways to support its development may be added later.
Does it replace Wrangler?
No. WorkerDock runs the Wrangler and dev commands already in your project and adds discovery, supervision, logs and an overview on top. Your configuration stays exactly as it is.
Does it send my code or data anywhere?
No. The app runs entirely on your Mac, reads your project folders without modifying them, and never shows secret values from vars or .dev.vars files. Its only network request is an update check, which you can turn off in Settings.
Which Macs and Wrangler versions are supported?
WorkerDock targets macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Cloudflare's Local Explorer, which WorkerDock embeds, needs Wrangler 4.82.1 or newer, or the Cloudflare Vite plugin 1.32.0 or newer. For older versions, WorkerDock shows the exact update command for your package manager.
Will there be a Windows or Linux version?
WorkerDock is Mac-first and built natively for it. Other platforms aren't planned yet. Reply to any of our update emails and tell us what you'd like to see.
Does it work with monorepos?
Yes. WorkerDock searches nested folders, so a Worker living in apps/api is found, and installs and dev scripts run in the right folder.
Is WorkerDock affiliated with Cloudflare?
No. WorkerDock is an independent product by Webtions OÜ and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Cloudflare, Inc.
Roadmap
What we're exploring next.
WorkerDock starts with the everyday local loop. These are ideas we're planning, not promises or dates.
Planned
Local D1 migrations
List and apply your local migrations without leaving the app.
Exploring
Friendly local domains
Open project.test instead of remembering port numbers.
Request inspector
See requests flowing through each Worker as they happen.
Multi-Worker sessions
Run several Workers together so service bindings just work.
Deploy from the app
Ship to Cloudflare with a click, with deploy history alongside.
Local EmDash installer
Create a new EmDash site from a template and open it in WorkerDock.
.dev.vars editor
Edit local variables safely, with values masked by default.
