Localdock is a macOS menubar application that assigns named addresses to local development servers. It offers three access tiers: .localhost for the current Mac, .local for devices on the same Wi-Fi network, and a public HTTPS link accessible from anywhere. Names are derived from project folder names and can be renamed directly within the app. The tool requires no DNS setup, no admin password, and nothing to install for collaborators. It works with hot reload and supports macOS 14 and later. Localdock is available as a $9 one-time purchase for a single device, with a refund guarantee if it does not fit the user's workflow.
