“I've been using LocalCan for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer! Creating a Public URL with a single click is incredibly convenient. And in most cases, testing my apps on other devices in the local network using local domains is all I need. What's more, the one-time payment model gives me peace of mind, with no worries about monthly costs that can quickly add up when using other solutions. LocalCan is a real winner!”

Persistent Public URLs
Public URLs securely expose your localhost projects to the internet. It's an easy way to share them with your clients and stakeholders, test webhooks, OAuth integrations and more. Use localcan.dev or your own custom domain.
Unlimited local domains
Local domains .local are the most efficient way if you want to test your apps over https or on different devices connected to your Wi-Fi. You can publish unlimited number of .local domains on your local network.
