What it does
Everything between git clone and a working app.
The tedious part of trying someone else's project, from reading the README to guessing the package manager and finding the port, is handled for you and shown to you.
Detects the build
Next.js, Vite, Node, static sites and Dockerfiles, read from real files like package.json and lockfiles, never guessed.
Learn more Builds in isolation
Inside a locked-down Docker container when available, or a workspace-confined local process when it isn’t.
Learn more Runs on localhost
A free port is allocated, the app is started and health-checked, and crashes are caught and explained.
Learn more Develops live
Dev-server mode with an embedded preview, hot-reload status, and git branches, commits and safe pulls.
Learn more Edits in place
A built-in code editor with a file tree and tabs, or open the project in VS Code or Cursor in one click.
Learn more Keeps secrets secret
Environment variables are encrypted with your OS’s secure storage and redacted from every log line.
Learn more Any source
Public GitHub, private GitHub through a connected account, or a folder that’s already on your disk.
Learn more Manual when needed
Monorepo targets, custom commands with $PORT, or Dockerfile mode. Your configuration always takes priority.
Learn more Honest failures
A failed build is classified by its real cause, with the exact log lines and a one-click recovery.

What FLY8HT concluded
Found next.config.ts: likely Next.js
"next" confirmed as a real dependency
pnpm-lock.yaml present, so package manager is pnpm
Node 20 required, from .nvmrc
Works with
The stacks you already use.
With an honest verdict for each: supported, partially supported, or detected only.

Principles
Built around what it won't do.
FLY8HT runs other people's code on your computer. That only works if you can trust exactly what it does, and what it doesn't.
01
No cloud builds
Every clone, install, build and run happens on your own machine. There is no FLY8HT build server.
02
No account required
Download it and use it. Sign-in exists for the website only and is entirely optional.
03
No silent guesses
When a repo is ambiguous, such as two lockfiles, a monorepo or an unusual stack, FLY8HT tells you and asks.
04
No installers run for you
Missing a tool like pnpm or Docker? FLY8HT links the official installer instead of installing software behind your back.
Stop reading READMEs. Start running code.
Free for macOS, Windows and Linux. No account, no credit card, nothing uploaded.
