Hey Product Hunt! 👋
OtterKit started as a native macOS app for exposing localhost — tunnels, webhook capture, automatic HTTPS. This launch adds the piece we're most excited about: a CLI built for AI agents.
Coding agents constantly hit a wall when they need a public URL — to demo the web app they just built, receive a webhook, or share work in progress. OtterKit lets them get one themselves: `npx otterkit tunnel 3000` returns a public HTTPS URL in seconds.
Pricing is metered and agent-friendly: 1 credit ($0.01) per connected hour, capped at 10 credits/day per tunnel, and billing pauses while disconnected. No subscriptions, no dashboards mid-task.
For humans, the desktop app gives you the same tunnels plus webhook inspection in a clean native UI.
Would love your feedback — especially if you're wiring public URLs into agent workflows!
Finally stopped tab-hopping between ngrok and mkcert, this just works out of the box on my mac. The traffic inspection view is a really nice touch I didn't expect.
This looks great for local dev. One thing that would push me over the edge is request scripting or replay support inside the traffic inspector, so I can resend captured requests with edited headers or bodies without having to copy them into curl. That would make debugging webhook flows way faster.
Finally a native macOS app that actually unifies the ngrok + mkcert + tunnel mess into one clean interface. The auto HTTPS and traffic inspection in a single window is exactly the execution I was hoping someone would ship.
finally something that replaces my messy ngrok setup, the one-click https on custom domains actually works without me touching a config file.
The all-in-one approach actually solves a real pain here, no more fumbling with three separate tools just to test a webhook locally. Love that it runs native on macOS instead of being yet another Electron wrapper.
Would love to see a built-in request replay tool where I can resend a captured webhook payload with one click. Super useful when iterating on handlers without needing to trigger the third party again.
