Share localhost with confidence.
wiremaven gives your local build a temporary encrypted public link without the deployment overhead.
Add wiremaven to your project
Install the package as a single dev dependency, no global binaries, no daemon to manage, no account needed. wiremaven is stays scoped to your dev environment and leaves your production bundle untouched.
npm install -D wiremaven Configure your integration once
The init command reads your package.json and config files, detects your framework, and patches in the right
integration. Works with Next.js, Astro, Vite, Webpack, and Rspack. Takes
about five seconds.
npx wiremaven init Start your server and send the link
Run your existing dev command; the app workflow stays the same. The wiremaven overlay starts with your dev server. Click Start to open an encrypted relay and get a shareable link. Reviewers see your local build in real time. You see live viewer connections, request status, and any failures as they happen.
npm run dev Add wiremaven to Chrome
Install from the Chrome Web Store — no project changes, no terminal, no account required. Works with any running local dev server.
Add to Chrome →Enter your local port
Start your dev server as normal. Open the wiremaven popup and type
the port it runs on — such as 3000
or 4321. Choose how long the
link stays live: 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Click Start and send the link
Click Start in the popup. The extension opens an encrypted relay and shows the public URL. Copy it and send it to your reviewer. They only need the link — not the extension.
Built for every kind of review session.
No deployment overhead. Immediate feedback.
Works with Next.js, Astro, Vite, Webpack, and Rspack out of the box. Start your dev server and wiremaven opens an encrypted relay. Reviewers get a live link; you get full session visibility.
Client walkthroughs before staging exists
Share the build on your machine, keep the review temporary, and watch request outcomes while clients click through.
Set up client walkthroughs →Design handoff inside the working prototype
Move beyond Figma review. Designers and developers can click real flows, check responsive behavior, and see issues in the local build.
Review working prototypes →Pre-production demos that feel controlled
Share a local build with advisors, testers, or investors before it is deployment-ready, without flying blind during the walkthrough.
Share pre-launch demos →Short-lived links for time-boxed feedback
Send a review link for an hour, collect lightweight session awareness, and let the access window close when the review is over.
Create time-boxed links →Know what is happening while the review is live.
wiremaven surfaces viewer activity, request outcomes, and failures in real time, so you are not running blind during a demo or client walkthrough.
- Connected viewers See the moment someone joins, before they say anything.
- Request and failure tracking Catch broken assets and failed requests as they surface.
- Auto-expiring sessions Links close at 15, 30, or 60 minutes, no dangling review URLs.
- Session event log Copy a full event log from the review window to your clipboard.
Common questions, plain answers.
- Does wiremaven require an account or sign-up?
- No. wiremaven works from your terminal and dev environment. Install the package, run your dev server, and share the generated URL. No login or account required.
- Is my local code or source exposed through the relay?
- No source code travels through the relay. wiremaven proxies HTTP requests from the reviewer's browser to your local dev server through an encrypted channel, like any browser request to a server. Only rendered responses travel; your project files stay local.
- Which frameworks are supported?
-
wiremaven supports Next.js, Astro, Vite, Webpack, and Rspack out of the box.
Run
npx wiremaven initto detect your stack and patch your config. - How long does a review link stay active?
- Review links stay active for 15, 30, or 60 minutes, based on your selection. When the window closes, the URL stops working and access ends. You can close the session before expiry by stopping your dev server.
- Can multiple people use the same review link at once?
- Yes. Multiple reviewers can open the same URL at once. The overlay shows a live viewer count. High concurrent request volume can hit relay limits, so wiremaven works best for small review groups, not large public audiences.
- Does it affect my production build or deployment?
-
No. wiremaven is scoped to your development environment and
installed as a
devDependency. It never touches your production bundle, CI pipeline, or deployed application. - What do reviewers see, and what do you see as the developer?
- Reviewers see your local app as it runs on your machine. wiremaven does not inject UI on the reviewer side. You see the wiremaven overlay in your own dev environment, showing a real-time event feed with viewer connections, request outcomes, failures, and time remaining in the session.
- Is wiremaven free?
- Yes, wiremaven is free during the beta. Share your first review link with no commitment.
