stoat.run — tiny tunnels for localhost

stoat.run gives your localhost a public URL in seconds. No signup, no config, no dashboard — just run one command and share the link.

npx stoat.run http 3000

npx stoat.run http 3000

Get Running

1
Install Stoat globally or use npx to run it without installing.
2
Run stoat http 3000 — replace 3000 with your local server port.
3
Copy the public URL and share it — anyone with the link can reach your local server.

React Overlay

Drop StoatOverlay into your app to show a live tunnel status bar.

npm i @stoat-run/overlay

export function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <>
      {children}
      <StoatOverlay slug="hidden-peek-2249" />
    </>
  );
}
