Keep your stack
If it already works on localhost, Minit works around it. No framework migration.
OPEN SOURCE · APACHE 2.0
From localhost to
real users in one command.
Minit gives a web app already running on your computer a temporary public URL. No account. No cloud setup. Your app stays on your PC.
terminal
$ minit run --port 8000
✓ Local app: http://127.0.0.1:8000
✓ Ready: public URL is reachable
✓ Live URL: https://example.trycloudflare.com
✓ Compute: this PC
Send the URL to your users.

No account, DNS, server, or cloud project just to show someone a prototype.
Stay in control
Your computer provides the compute. Stop Minit and the temporary public path closes.
INSTALL
One package. One command.
Install from PyPI with pipx or uv. The package is minit-runtime; the command is minit.
# pipx
pipx install minit-runtime
# or uv
uv tool install minit-runtimeTHE WHOLE IDEA
Build→localhost→minit run→share→learn
AI coding made building small software cheap. Getting it in front of another person should be just as lightweight.
TRY IT
A tiny local page is enough.
Create a throwaway page, start Python's built-in web server, then publish it with Minit.
# terminal 1
python -c "from pathlib import Path; p=Path('minit-demo'); p.mkdir(exist_ok=True); (p/'index.html').write_text('Hello from Minit')"
python -m http.server 8000 --directory minit-demo
# terminal 2
minit run --port 8000SECURITY
Public means public.
Minit changes the security boundary of your local app. Treat every generated URL as public. Do not expose secrets, private files, personal data, or sensitive company data. Minit is currently for prototypes, demos, and early user testing — not sensitive or production workloads.
