Localhost Web Server & Files vs HTML Web Preview

HostPilot turns your iPhone or iPad into a small web server on your own Wi-Fi network. Point any browser on the same network at the address it gives you. FILE DROP Open HostPilot, start a File Drop, and any phone, tablet or computer on your Wi-Fi can open the page and send files straight to your device. Nothing leaves your network. No cable, no account, no cloud service in the middle. Scan the QR code to open the page instantly on another device. SERVE A FOLDER AS A SITE Import a folder of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or write one in the built-in editor, and HostPilot serves it the way a real web server would: • index.html auto-serve and directory listing you can switch off • Live reload, so edits show up in the browser as you save • Single-page-app fallback for React, Vue and Angular builds • Range requests, so video seeks and resumes properly • Custom 404 pages, CORS headers and gzip • Correct ETag, Last-Modified and 304 handling REQUEST INSPECTOR Point a webhook or an API client at your device and watch requests arrive: method, path, headers and body, captured as they land. Useful when you are building something that has to call you back. BUILT-IN EDITOR Syntax highlighting, find and replace, and version history for every file in a site, so you can fix a line and see the result without leaving the app. ON IPAD Open HostPilot beside Safari in Split View. Both stay on screen, so you can edit a file on one side and reload the page on the other. HOW SERVING WORKS HostPilot serves while the app is on screen. When you leave the app, iOS suspends it and the server stops — HostPilot tells you it paused and brings it back with one tap when you return. Keep the app open while you are transferring files or previewing a site.

Open your web projects on iPhone and iPad. HTML Web Preview opens a folder of HTML and its related files, with JSON and source available alongside the page. Explore your own study materials, web documents, small tools and prototypes on your device. • Open a project folder: keep HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and JSON together with their file structure intact. • Keep your originals: the app does not modify selected files or folders. Switch between formatted JSON and original text, and refresh after editing files in another app. • Preview before running: folders open with page JavaScript disabled. Review the contents and run only projects you trust. A separately confirmed compatibility mode is available for some web features. • Adjust the view: collapse the controls, use the current device screen, or select a fixed or custom resolution. Zoom the page as in a browser to adjust text and element sizes, line wrapping and layout. Resolution settings do not reproduce every feature of a device. • Inspect errors: distinguish missing files from page errors and check the project activity log. Before you begin Projects can work offline when all required files are stored on your device and no external services are needed. Cloud downloads, external web resources and ads may require internet access. ZIP extraction, file editing, server-side programs such as Python, PHP or Node.js, project builds and download management are not supported. Open the finished web output folder for projects that need a build step. Page inputs and runtime state are not permanently saved and may reset when a project closes or restarts. Read-only access does not block every form of external communication. Run only trusted projects without sensitive files. The version 1.3 interface supports 15 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Thai, Hebrew and Serbian (Latin script). Your documents and code remain in their original language.
