Localdock
Stable names and shareable addresses for local development servers
About Localdock
Localdock provides per-project address management for local development servers. It switches between the same Mac, local Wi-Fi, or public links; addresses stay stable across restarts and port changes, and follow the latest server when a framework auto-increments the port. Shared links require no app installation or account registration on the recipient's side, carry a secret key, expire after 1 hour, and can be closed at any time. The app also has a built-in MCP server providing the three tools list_ports, get_free_port, and cleanup, helping parallel development sessions reduce port conflicts.
