Expose is a fantastic tool for sharing your local development environment. It's a must-have for any developer.

Dries Vints
Engineer at Laravel

Webhook tunneling was never as easy as this before! I use Expose for all my apps.

Simon Bennett
Founder of Packetly

Using Expose is easier than setting up port forwarding in my router, even with a static IP. Packetly is heavily WebHook driven and I can't imagine building APIs without it.

FAQ

Commonly asked questions

How do I share localhost with Expose?

Install the Expose client with one command, then run "expose share http://localhost:3000" (or the port of your local server). Expose prints a public HTTPS URL that forwards every request to your machine. The first time, it opens the browser so you can log in or create a free account.

Is Expose free?

Yes. The free plan gives you random URLs on our server in the EU with a time limit per connection, and needs no credit card. Expose Pro removes the time limit and adds custom and reserved subdomains, custom domains and the global server network.

How is Expose different from ngrok?

Expose has flat yearly pricing that includes custom domains and reserved subdomains, shows no warning page in front of your site, and comes with a local request dashboard that can replay webhooks. It also has an MCP server so coding agents can read the requests that reached your tunnel.

Does Expose work with my language or framework?

Yes. Expose forwards HTTP traffic to any local server, so it works with Node.js, Next.js, Vite, Django, Rails, Laravel, Go and everything else. The client is a single binary for macOS, Linux and Windows with no dependencies.

Can I test webhooks on my local machine?

Yes. Point Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Twilio or any other provider at your Expose URL. The dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:4040 shows every request and response, and you can replay a request, with modifications, without triggering the webhook again.

Can I keep the same URL every time?

Yes, with Expose Pro. Use "--subdomain=name" for a custom subdomain, reserve it so nobody else can take it, or use your own domain. This keeps webhook endpoints and OAuth callback URLs stable between sessions.

Do I need to fiddle with my router?

No. Expose creates a connection between our servers and your machine, so you don't have to open any ports. If someone goes to the shared site, they access our infrastructure, not your machine directly.

Will it work even though I am behind a firewall?

Yes. The connection between our infrastructure and your machine works even if you are behind a firewall or VPN. It only shares a specific port on your machine, and you can close it any time.

What's your refund policy?

We generally offer refunds within 14 days of your purchase. Email us at [email protected] if you aren't happy with Expose and we'll find a solution.

Can I get an invoice?

Yes. We use Paddle as our payment provider and they send you an invoice after your purchase. You can also download the invoice from your account.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Log into your account, or create one with the email address of your purchase, and head over to the billing area.
