Develop Locally
Expose Securely.
The open-source tunnel built for developers.
No configuration, just tunnels.
npm i -g workslocalYour ngrok URL changed. Again.
The modern developer experience shouldn't involve logging into a dashboard just to test a webhook. We built WorksLocal to solve the friction of temporary tunnels.
- closeNo account setup required for basic tunnels.
- closeNo proprietary binaries tracking your traffic.
- closeNo forced upgrades when you hit 5 requests/min.
Web Inspector
Replay, inspect, and modify requests on the fly.
The "Catch Mode"
No server running yet? No problem. WorksLocal can catch requests in mid-air and store them until you're ready to spin up your local environment.
$ workslocal catch --name stripe-payments ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ✔ Catch mode active!

The 'Dumb Pipe' Principle
We believe your data is none of our business. WorksLocal operates as a pure relay. Our servers never terminate your SSL connection; they simply route raw TCP packets between the public edge and your local agent.
"If it's not encrypted on your machine, it's not on our wires."
