WordPress Studio
You develop and view WordPress sites locally on your own computer.
Developer Automattic
Version 1.21.0 · Open source · Windows · macOS
WordPress Studio helps you create and manage local WordPress sites. You can try themes, plug-ins and content before bringing changes to a published website. There are graphics and command control routes; available functions vary by environment.
A local website is not automatically accessible to visitors. Publish or synchronize is a separate operation and can make requirements for hosting. The offered agent functions are additional on local development and can use an account or online processing. You can also work with the files yourself.

A local WordPress site is useful to try out a theme, format or change before visitors see it. Keep test content and real customer data separate. A local copy may also contain personal data when you take over an existing database.
Check a change after transferring again on the final hosting. Server settings, email handling and available PHP components may differ. A successful local test is therefore an important step, but not a replacement for monitoring the live environment.
Version and updates
Version 1.21.0 (Desktop app; the WordPress version of each site is separate from this). The setting for the latest WordPress version has been replaced by a separate choice of automatic updates and a version selection list. Also, the display of the site version actually used has been improved. The app can be displayed more compactly and there are corrections for publishing, deleting sites and translations.

Our verdict
Studio is useful when you want to customize a WordPress site without making every trial immediately visible to visitors. You can first view a theme or plug-in in a protected local environment and then decide which changes you take over.
Please check if your local environment is sufficiently similar to the final hosting. A plugin that works locally may depend on other server settings. Before synchronization, back up the published site and see which data is overwritten. Treat local development and publish as two separate steps.
