LocalhostDrop — Temporary demo links for friends

Send a local HTML file or localhost page to a friend with one link

Problem

When you have an AI-generated HTML page or a localhost app running and want to let a friend, client or student click around, they must install an environment, edit hosts, or follow screenshots — the trial breaks at the last step. Existing tunneling tools are developer-oriented and confuse non-technical recipients.

Solution

Upload a single HTML file or point to a local port and get a password-protected, expirable, revocable link. The recipient opens it in any browser with no signup or plugin, can click buttons and try API demos, and the link auto-expires afterward.

Users

Indie developers, AI prototype authors, freelancers, designers and instructors who need client review pages.

MVP

Drag-and-drop a single HTML file to generate a password link; forward a local localhost HTTP port; configurable expiry and visit limits; no signup or plugin for recipients; one-click revoke with access log.

Revenue

Free 5 temporary links per month; paid subscription for longer links, custom domains, QR codes and analytics; team plan for instructors and agencies.

Why now

AI lets non-developers produce HTML prototypes, but sharing them is still too technical and error-prone. Tunneling and short-link tech is mature enough for a solo build.
