Launch FlareDesk

Open FlareDesk from your Applications folder. On first launch, you'll see the project picker screen.

First time? Click "Start Free Trial" to begin your 3-day trial. No credit card required.

2

Add Your Project

Click "Add Project" and select the folder containing your Cloudflare Workers project. This folder should contain a wrangler.toml file.

Two ways to add a project:
  • Click "Add Project" and browse to your project folder

The status indicator will show "Running" when the server is ready. Your worker will be accessible at http://localhost:8787.

Port conflict? If the port is already in use, FlareDesk will prompt you to either kill the existing process or choose a different port.

Use the sidebar to navigate to different bindings. For example, click D1 Database to:

D1 Database Features
