LOcal DEvelopment Environment Manager (LODEEM) is a lightning-fast, portable development environment manager built from the ground up in Rust. Run Apache, Nginx, PHP, Node.js, and databases with unprecedented speed and minimal resource usage.

Technical decisions that matterβexplained in plain English
SSL certificates generated nativelyβno OpenSSL, no command-line gymnastics, no "install this dependency first."
Delete folder = uninstalled. No registry entries, no leftover services, no hunting for remnants.
One file. Drop it anywhere. Run it. No installer, no runtime, no "extracting 2GB of files."
No Cygwin. No MSYS2. No WSL required. Real Windows binaries that just work.
~150MB working set. No Chromium runtime eating your RAM while you're trying to code.
Symlink-based PHP/Node switching. Not 20 seconds of "reconfiguring environment."
Your code stays on your machine. Always. Cloud features are opt-in and config-only.
Close LODEEM = nothing running. No hidden services, no startup items, no surprise CPU usage.
