Expose HTTP Server vs Static Server

Expose turns your iPhone or iPad into a local HTTP/API server for the same Wi-Fi network. Use it as a file server, WebDAV server, static site host, and mock API workbench: computers, test devices, browsers, scripts, TVs, and dev boards can open your local URL or scan a QR code without installing another app. Use Expose for: - Wi-Fi file sharing: send photos, videos, documents, and folders to Mac, Windows, Linux, TV boxes, NAS workflows, and nearby devices - Local WebDAV: browse folders from Finder, Files, rclone, Cyberduck, and compatible clients; enable uploads or WebDAV write only when you choose - Mock API testing: create JSON, HTML, redirects, status codes, headers, latency, and conditional responses; match query, path, header, or request body values, inspect captured payloads, and replay requests - Dynamic response templates: insert request values, UUIDs, timestamps, and random data, then verify output with a live preview and sample inputs - Static site preview: serve a folder as a local website with index.html and SPA fallback - Automation: use Shortcuts or Siri to start, stop, or copy the running server URL - Session upkeep: bulk-select routes, sources, and logs to clear them fast; broken-source warnings flag missing files or photos; guided Local Network permission and actionable recovery when a start fails Expose stays local-first. It does not require a cloud account, does not upload your files, photos, routes, or logs to our servers, and does not publish your device to the public internet. You choose what to share and control access with token, Basic/Bearer auth, Host/CORS/IP allowlists, and HTTPS. Because iOS limits background execution, Expose is designed for user-started foreground local sessions. Keep Screen Awake and short background grace improve hands-on testing, but Expose is not a 24/7 background hosting platform.

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.
