About this app

Mad Web Server transforms your Android phone or tablet into a complete local web development environment. Whether you are a student learning web technologies, a developer testing PHP applications, or an IT professional running internal tools, Mad Web Server provides a full LEMP‑style stack that fits in your pocket.

The app bundles Nginx (HTTP server), PHP 8.3 (FastCGI), MariaDB 11 (MySQL‑compatible database), and Node.js 22 — all compiled for ARM/ARM64 and x86. No root access is required. Everything runs locally on your device with a clean Material Design 3 interface.

You can start and stop the server with one tap, monitor live HTTP requests, generate QR codes for instant connections, manage TLS certificates for HTTPS, and edit configuration files directly in the app. The built‑in phpMyAdmin interface lets you manage databases on the go.
