A better way to share

Stop deploying just to show progress.

Your development workflow shouldn't slow down every time someone needs a preview.

Without Localians

The slow way.

  1. Build locally.
  2. Deploy to a staging server.
  3. Wait for the build.
  4. Share the URL.
  5. Repeat after every change.

Too many steps for a simple preview.

With Localians

The instant way.

  1. Start your local app.npm run dev
  2. Run one command.npx localians share 5173
  3. Share your secure link.
  4. Keep building while they browse.

Three simple steps

From localhost to anywhere.

No complicated setup. No deployment pipeline. Just your app and a shareable link.

  1. STEP 01

    Start your app.

    Run your development server as you normally would.

    $ npm run dev
  2. STEP 02

    Share your port.

    Run Localians and securely expose your local application.

    $ npx localians share 5173
  3. STEP 03

    Send the link.

    Give clients or teammates a URL they can open from any browser.

    https://demo.preview.localians.com

The link in step 03 is an example address.
