Turn your iPhone into a pocket-sized Web runtime environment. This app is more than a local-network file server — it is a mobile server that can run full-featured Web tools. The boundaries of modern Web technology have expanded dramatically: many fully-featured tool applications can ultimately be packaged as a set of local files. This app provides exactly such a runtime, letting you load and run these projects directly on your phone — whether you are coding, preparing lessons, planning, or organizing your thoughts, you can put it to use on your phone anytime. Import a compressed package and start a local HTTP service with one tap, and you can load complete build output or ready-made tools directly on your mobile device. Runtime capabilities: • A standard HTTP runtime that fully supports page routing, WebAssembly, IndexedDB local storage, and single-page applications (SPA). • Compatible with the vast majority of Web software that can be compiled into static assets, moving your results into your phone as-is. Compatibility: • Supports the dist, build, out, and static build output directories of mainstream frameworks such as Vue, React, Vite, and Next. • Compatible with the vast majority of WASM applications, such as JupyterLite, letting you use a browser-based Python runtime directly on your phone. • Supports various Web tools such as open-source whiteboards, mind maps, and drawing editors. Convenience and privacy: • Drag-and-drop upload of packages over the local network, no cable needed, no reliance on any cloud server. • All data is stored on the device, usable offline, and your files and code never leave your device. Who it is for: • Developers: verify how build output actually runs on mobile and catch compatibility issues that only surface on phones. • Programming beginners: no need to set up a complex development environment — import an offline coding environment and start learning anytime, anywhere. • Personal users: put ready-made Web tools such as open-source whiteboards, mind maps, and drawing notes into your phone for studying, lesson prep, planning, and organizing thoughts — no coding required to enjoy the convenience of having them ready at hand on mobile. • Teams: on the same local network, other devices can access the Web tools running on your phone. Demo on the spot without carrying a laptop. Whether you are showing a product prototype to a colleague on the high-speed train, running an offline coding environment in class, or using a whiteboard to sort out the flow of a lesson, as long as you have your phone, your Web tools are ready to run anytime. It is more than a simple web viewer — it is a mobile server that runs full-featured Web tools, where coding environments, canvas editors, and all kinds of interactive tools can run locally on your phone.
