3/3: Windows: the tray icon no longer disappears and got a redesign that reads on light and dark taskbars. Launch at Startup survives updates. Closing the window keeps LocalCan running in the tray, so your Public URLs stay up.

2/3: The Request Inspector now shows a country flag next to the visitor's IP 🇺🇸 🇵🇱 🇪🇸, so you can tell your client from a bot at a glance.

1/3: Snapshots and password protection are now in the CLI and the MCP server. `localcan snapshot publish ./dist` returns a Public URL, localcan access password <url> locks it down, and your coding agent can run either one for you.

LocalCan 3.0 Beta 9 is out! Now you can ask your AI agent to publish a Snapshot (website, prototype, etc.) and set a password to restrict access.

LocalCan 3.0 Beta 8 is released! What's new: Access Control: Add password protection, secret links, or IP rules to any Public URL. Enforced server-side, so your protection stays active even when your laptop is off. Works with Snapshots too. Available in subscription plans.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP host. Agents are read-only until you flip a switch, and secrets are redacted from what they see by default.

LocalCan 3.0 beta.6 is out. Your AI agent can now drive LocalCan over MCP: → "expose port 3000" and it hands back a Public URL → "why did this webhook fail?" and it reads the actual request your app received → pause, resume, or remove URLs when it's done

A webhook fired while your local server was down? Until now that request was just gone. LocalCan 3.0 beta 5 captures the full request body on those 502s, so you can inspect and replay what you missed once your server is back up. Also: fixes for 2.x migration + UI polish.

Adding OAuth to your MCP server? Plot twist: you're not the OAuth client like in a normal app. Your server has to be the authorization server. Full working walkthrough 👇 www.localcan.com/blog/mcp-ser...

LocalCan 3.0 Beta: The Biggest Update Yet - Blog - LocalCan™
LocalCan 3.0 Beta brings a CLI, YAML configuration, Linux support, multiple endpoints per service, and a global edge network — the biggest update since the app launched.

LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026
5. LocalCan finally runs on Linux. CLI-only on Linux today. Same binary, same daemon, same Public URLs.
100
LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026
4. One service, multiple URLs A `.local` domain for working offline. A `*.localcan.dev` URL for ad-hoc sharing. A custom domain for stakeholders. All at the same time, each with its own header rewrites and basic-auth rules.
100
LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026
3. Global edge network v2 routed Public URLs through single region (Amsterdam). 3.0 ships behind a global edge network - the tunnel picks the closest reachable edge automatically. Faster page loads, snappier APIs, no demos stuck behind 300ms round trips.
100
LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026
2. Configuration as code Your projects are now plain YAML files under `~/.localcan/projects/`. Hand-editable, version-control friendly, hot-reloaded with `localcan reload`. The desktop UI reads and writes the same files.

LocalCan™ @localcan.com · 07/05/2026
1. A real CLI (and AI agents can drive it) `localcan http 3000` opens a Public URL in your terminal with a live request log. Every command speaks JSON, so an agent can scaffold your app and hand you a preview link with no human in the loop.
