Map custom domains like domain.local to your local dev servers. HTTPS that just works, reverse proxy included. All from a clean native app.
| Domain | Target | Enabled |
|---|---|---|
| HTTPS domain.local | 127.0.0.1:3000 | |
| HTTP api.domain.local | 127.0.0.1:8080 | |
| BOTH dashboard.local | 127.0.0.1:4200 |
No more editing hosts files or wrestling with certificates. LocalDomain handles it all.
Create domains like domain.local or api.domain.local that point to your machine. Add, edit, or remove them with a single click.
Get valid HTTPS on local domains with zero browser warnings. LocalDomain creates a local Certificate Authority and installs trusted certificates automatically.
Route any custom domain to a specific local port. Point domain.local to localhost:3000 and api.domain.local to localhost:8080.
Enable wildcard support so *.domain.local resolves automatically. Perfect for multi-tenant apps or microservices.
A lightweight daemon runs in the background managing your hosts file, proxy server, and TLS certificates. Optionally starts on boot.
Every change is recorded. See exactly when a domain was added, modified, or removed. Full transparency for your local setup.
Customize HTTP and HTTPS ports, toggle start-on-boot, start or stop the proxy server, and fully uninstall with one click if needed.
Clean monochrome design that follows your system preference or can be toggled manually. Pure black and white — no distractions.
A guided setup wizard installs the background service, starts the reverse proxy, and creates your first domain. Ready in seconds.
No terminal commands. No config files. Just a clean app.
Download LocalDomain and open it. The setup wizard will ask for your admin password to install a lightweight background service that manages your hosts file and proxy.
Click "Add Domain" and type the domain you want. Choose the target port, pick HTTP, HTTPS, or both, and optionally enable wildcard.
That's it. Navigate to https://domain.local in any browser and it just works — valid certificate, no warnings, routed to your local dev server.
