The code runner for PHP
Tinkerwell is a REPL on steroids. It allows you to run code snippets within the context of your application without hitting the browser. It's the perfect companion to your favorite IDE and works with any framework – locally, via SSH, Docker and even on Laravel Vapor.
Framework wonders
Tinker with any PHP application or framework, including Laravel, Symfony and WordPress. You’ll get support for the most popular PHP frameworks out of the box – and you can add support for others by writing a custom driver.
The best-in-class autocompletion and editor experience
Tinkerwell indexes your codebase and provides you with an outstanding code completion experience.
Quickly find exactly the part of your code that you need with our fuzzy search logic, no matter if you are searching
for classes, methods, constants, or simply chain method calls.
Helpful documentation snippets make tinkering with your code even easier.


Magic comments, automatic code coverage, inline-error messages, and more
Using a special comment syntax you can quickly dump out variables, perform method calls in the middle of a method chain, and even measure the time of your code execution. With automatic code coverage, you always know exactly which line of your code was evaluated and which one wasn't.
