About:
LocalCan provides persistent public URLs and .local domains for local development environments. It tunnels traffic from your localhost to a public address, enabling easy sharing of in-progress work with clients or collaborators. The tool simplifies webhook testing and mobile app development by making local services accessible from anywhere.
Key Features:
  • Instant public URLs for localhost
  • Custom .local domain support
  • Automatic HTTPS provisioning
  • Share local apps without deployment
Use Cases:
  • Testing webhooks with external services
  • Sharing development builds with stakeholders
  • Mobile app backend development
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – Similar tunneling functionality but LocalCan focuses on .local domains and simpler UX
  • Cloudflare Tunnel – Enterprise-focused alternative with more complex configuration
