It was inspired by Portless , but I also wanted built-in public tunneling, selective path exposure, request inspection, and live logs.

Routeup is a new tool that aims to provide stable local HTTPS URLs and opt-in public tunnels for local apps. It was inspired by Portless but adds features such as selective path exposure, request inspection, and live logs. Users can give their local apps a stable, trusted HTTPS URL and keep using it across restarts, while only exposing specific paths when needed.

Routeup supports multiple path targets behind one origin, repository-level configuration, and running an app command. The tool is a single Go binary, has no CLI telemetry, and is MIT licensed. Users can provide feedback or report issues via GitHub or email.

  • Self-hosting provides control over data boundaries and avoids third-party endpoints.
  • Probe script evaluates real performance and reliability differences between options.
