FAQ
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
How do I share a local prototype with a client?
- Drop the folder or HTML file into Vaporlink, or paste your localhost port. A public link appears in seconds. Send that link to your client. Set a duration or kill it manually when the review is done. No deployment, no git, no developer.
How do I share a Vite app with a client without deploying?
- Paste your Vite dev server port into Vaporlink. Your live Vite server gets a public link immediately. The client sees every change you make in real time.
How do I share a Claude Code or Cursor app with a client?
- Paste the localhost port your app is running on into Vaporlink. For a static output folder or HTML file, drop it directly into Vaporlink. The link is live in seconds.
How do I share a Figma export with a client?
- When Figma exports to a local folder or HTML file, drop that folder or HTML file into Vaporlink. You get a public link without touching Vercel, Netlify, or any deployment tool.
How do I get a shareable link for a local folder?
- Drop the folder into Vaporlink. It creates a public link to your folder's contents in seconds. Set it to expire automatically or kill it yourself.
Does the link die when I close my laptop?
- For folder and HTML file shares: no. The link stays live. For port shares: yes, those require the app to stay running.
Can I set a prototype link to expire automatically?
- Yes. Every Vaporlink link has a duration you set: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or no time limit. When the duration ends, the link stops resolving automatically.
Is there a shareable link that works without a GitHub account?
- Yes. Vaporlink requires no git repo, no GitHub account, and no deployment pipeline. Drop a folder or HTML file, paste a port, get a link.
Do I need to know how to use a terminal?
- No. Vaporlink is a Mac menubar app with drag-and-drop. There is no CLI.
