About LocalXpose

LocalXpose creates a public URL that tunnels traffic to your local development server, letting you share work-in-progress sites or test webhooks without deploying. It's a simpler alternative to ngrok with a focus on ease of use.

What it does

You run a single command in your terminal, and LocalXpose gives you a public URL (like https://your-project.lxp.to) that forwards requests to your localhost. It supports HTTPS, custom subdomains, and TCP tunnels.

Best for

Developers testing webhooks locally
Designers sharing prototypes with clients
Teams demoing features before deployment

Strengths

One-command setup with no account required for basic use
Built-in HTTPS without certificate management
Custom subdomains and reserved tunnels on paid plans

Key features

HTTP/HTTPS tunnels — Expose local servers with public URLs
TCP tunnels — Forward any TCP traffic (e.g., SSH, databases)
Custom subdomains — Use your own subdomain on paid plans
Dashboard — Monitor active tunnels and traffic
CLI client — Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
