The ngrok AlternativeYou've Been Waiting For
Stop paying monthly fees for basic tunneling. Get persistent public URLs, unlimited local domains, and automatic HTTPS with a one-time payment. Everything ngrok should have been.
Public Sharing
Persistent Public URLs That Last
Unlike ngrok's random, disposable URLs, Loco gives you persistent domains you can count on.
- Choose Your Domain
Pick a memorable subdomain like
myapp.getloco.devinstead of random gibberish likea1b2c3.ngrok.io- 7-Day Persistence
Your domains are reserved for 7 days of inactivity. Perfect for sharing with clients or keeping stable URLs for webhook testing.
- Automatic HTTPS
Every public domain comes with automatic SSL certificates. No configuration needed - just secure, professional URLs.
Local Development
.local Domains ngrok Can't Touch
The secret sauce ngrok is missing: blazing-fast local development with .local domains that work across all your devices.
- Network-Wide Access
- Test your app on any device connected to your Wi-Fi. Your phone, tablet, colleague's laptop - they all see your dev server at myapp.local
- Lightning Fast
- Local domains bypass the internet entirely. No tunneling overhead, no latency - just direct, local network speeds.
- Built-in HTTPS
- Every .local domain gets automatic SSL certificates. Test HTTPS features without complex certificate setups.
- Perfect for Teams
- Share your development environment instantly with team members. No setup required - just connect to the same Wi-Fi.
