LocalXpose — Developer Tools

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

• 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
