macOS .local DNS Fixer

One-click fix for macOS .local domain resolution conflicts

Problem

macOS mDNS resolution logic conflicts with .local domains, causing developers to fail resolving internal test environment domains (e.g., xxx.cloud.local) in tools like Postman and database clients. Even manual /etc/resolver configs often don't work, wasting hours.

Solution

A Mac utility that detects .local domain resolution conflicts, generates correct /etc/resolver configuration files, or provides a GUI to quickly add DNS servers for specific domains. Supports one-click resolution testing and gives fix suggestions.

Users

Developers and ops accessing internal test environments, especially Mac users.

MVP

Detect .local domain resolution issues; generate and write /etc/resolver files; GUI to add domains and DNS servers; test resolution and display results; backup and restore configs.

Revenue

Freemium: basic features free, advanced features (multi-env config management, auto-detection) via one-time fee or subscription.

Why now

Remote and hybrid work make developers frequently connect to internal test environments; .local domain conflicts are a common pain, but existing solutions are fragmented and unfriendly.
