LocalCan

LocalCan provides developers on macOS and Windows with a way to expose local applications to other devices and the internet using both persistent public URLs and .local domain names. The tool creates secure HTTP or TCP tunnels that forward traffic to a localhost server, allowing developers to share work with clients, test webhooks, OAuth flows, and other integrations without needing external hosting. It also supports unlimited .local domains, which function as private top‑level domains for testing HTTPS and multi‑device scenarios within a local network.

The service includes traffic inspection features that let users monitor and replay requests, facilitating debugging of webhook payloads and network interactions. Because it operates independently of any specific framework, it can be used with a wide range of application stacks. Persistent URLs remain constant across sessions, while temporary URLs are also available for short‑lived testing.

LocalCan is positioned as an alternative to existing tunneling solutions, targeting developers who need reliable, long‑term public endpoints and private domain testing during the development cycle. It is marketed toward individual developers and teams, emphasizing time savings and compatibility with standard development workflows.
