The problem
Your build doesn't stop when you leave
The dev server keeps running. But it's trapped on the machine at home — and you're on the train, at a café, out for lunch.
Busymote puts that localhost in your pocket. Glance at it, share it with a teammate, catch the bug before you’re home.
How it works
Three steps, no router config
01
Run one command
On the machine where your dev server runs: npx busymote 3000. Nothing to install.
02
Get a public URL
Busymote opens a Cloudflare Tunnel and hands you a public HTTPS link, in your terminal and on the web app.
03
Open from anywhere
Scan the QR or tap Open on the dashboard. Your localhost, live in your hand.
How to use
New here? Start in 4 steps
No servers to host, no router settings to touch. If you can run a dev server, you can do this.
- 1
Create a free account
Sign up on this site with your email and click the confirmation link in your inbox. No card needed.
- 2
Sign in from your terminal
On the machine you want to share. Once per machine — it remembers you after that. Needs Node 18+.
npx busymote login
- 3
Run your dev server, then share its port
Start your project the way you normally do (e.g. npm run dev on port 3000), then point Busymote at that port. Leave this command running — it's what keeps the tunnel alive.
npx busymote 3000
- 4
Open it from anywhere
The public link appears in your terminal and on this site. Sign in on your phone to tap Open, scan the QR code, share another port, or hit Stop when you're done.
What you get
Built to get out of your way
One command, nothing to install
npx busymote 3000 — that's the whole setup. No download, no installer, no admin rights. Works on Windows, macOS and Linux wherever Node 18+ runs.
Control it from your phone
Stop a tunnel, open it, or share another port straight from the web app on any device signed in to your account.
QR handoff
Every live tunnel has a QR code. Point your phone, you're in. No typing a random URL.
Live dashboard
The web dashboard updates the instant you start or stop a tunnel on your PC.
HTTPS, always
Cloudflare terminates TLS for you. Your phone gets a real https:// link, not an IP.
No router setup
No port forwarding, no static IP, no dynamic-DNS. The tunnel dials out from your machine.

FAQ
Good questions
How does it work without me hosting a server?
The command runs a Cloudflare Tunnel that dials out from your PC to a public URL. There's nothing for you to host or keep online — your machine is the origin.
Is my dev server exposed to everyone?
The link is public while a tunnel is active — anyone who has it can reach your app. Share it only while you need it, and stop the tunnel when you're done. Don't expose anything holding real secrets without its own login.
Does the URL stay the same?
Quick tunnels get a fresh random URL each run — but the dashboard always shows the current one live, so you never chase it. A stable URL is on the roadmap.
Which platforms are supported?
Anywhere Node 18+ runs — Windows, macOS and Linux. On macOS, install cloudflared first with `brew install cloudflared`; elsewhere Busymote fetches it for you on first run.
Does the tunnel stay up if I close the terminal?
No. The command is what holds the tunnel open, so keep it running while you need the link. Closing it stops sharing — which is also the safest default.
