hostit!
Awards EntryShare localhost in one click!
hostit! turns your local dev server into a shareable public link in one click, no deploy required. Working on something at localhost:3000 and need a client, teammate, or friend to see it right now? hostit! spins up a secure Cloudflare Quick Tunnel, checks that your app is actually ready to be seen, and hands you a live public URL, all without leaving your Mac. HOW IT WORKS - Point hostit! at your local dev server (auto-detected or manual port entry) - A built-in preflight check flags exposed secrets, debug output, or hardcoded localhost URLs before you share anything - Get a public link backed by a real Cloudflare Quick Tunnel with reachability checked, not just "hope it works" - Share it your way: copy link, native Share Sheet, Slack, or QR code for mobile testing - Stop any time: the tunnel and any helper processes shut down cleanly, nothing left running in the background BUILT FOR REAL WORKFLOWS - Optional password protection with a clean login page, so you control exactly who sees the link - A menu-bar icon that always reflects what's live - An optional hover toolbar that surfaces Share/Copy/Stop right inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or whatever app you're already working in - Native notifications so you always know when a session goes live or expires WHY hostit! No ngrok config files. No deploy step. No "wait, is this actually working?” hostit! checks reachability for you and tells you plainly if something's blocked, so you're not left guessing why a link doesn't load. Built entirely for Mac, with no telemetry beyond what's needed to run your tunnel.
