MAMP
MAMP is a web server solution stack package, mainly for macOS.
What is MAMP?
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your computer. It comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running on your system. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the "normal" system).

When the trial expires, the software enters limited mode. Limited mode means limited to -- doing nothing. Servers can't be started which means it has zero functionality after the trial period.

Support is via forum only. Documentation can be very poor, particularly around product upgrades (one expects more from commercial packages). Due to their poor documentation, I lost several years of development databases when porting from an old to a new computer (they don't accurately document the location of the database files).
Other sloppiness: dialog options for domain resolution don't do what you expect them to; the main hosts file is modified every time you set up a dev web (didn't used to work that way) -- worse, when you make changes, old hosts entries are not purged.
Just really sloppy lately. I originally used MAMP some years back because it was a little more buttoned-down than the MAMP stacks available at the time, but at this point in time you would do better with one of the cross-platform open-source offerings, like XAMPP (just to name one I'm familiar with).
