What problem does it solve?
This Skill replaces hard-to-remember local port numbers with stable, named .localhost URLs, preventing port conflicts and simplifying local development for individuals and AI agents.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Named Localhost URLs: Access your local development servers via URLs like
http://myapp.localhost:1355 instead of http://localhost:3000.
- Automatic Proxy Management: The
portless proxy starts automatically when needed and handles routing.
- Subdomain Support: Organize multiple services with subdomains (e.g.,
api.myapp.localhost).
- Git Worktree Integration: Automatically assigns unique URLs to different Git worktrees based on branch names.
- HTTPS/HTTP/2 Support: Enables faster, more secure local development with automatic certificate generation.
Quick Start
Install portless globally and then run your development server using portless run next dev.
