Localtunnel is a tool that allows you to expose your local development server to the internet securely. It creates a tunnel from a randomly generated subdomain on the localtunnel.me domain to your localhost, making it easy to share your work with others for testing or demonstration purposes. Localtunnel handles the complexities of setting up port forwarding and DNS configuration, providing a simple command-line interface for quick setup and teardown of tunnels.

Compared to similar tools like ngrok or Serveo, Localtunnel is known for its ease of use and simplicity. It is actively maintained and offers a free tier for basic usage, making it a popular choice among developers for temporary public access to local servers.
