Your Mac. Your AI Cloud.
Deploy applications locally and eliminate cloud charges. The Mac way.
Ask your AI agent to publish your app straight from your Mac. Each app you host is a Runner, sealed off in its own protected space and live at a public HTTPS URL reachable in less than 200ms from anywhere on the Internet. And we keep it Live for you if you are offline for any reason.
Paste the UrlyUp skills
into your AI Agent.
Every change is live at your secured public URL the moment it changes — no cloud server needed.
Your AI ships it, not just writes it.
UrlyUp speaks MCP: connect Claude Code or Claude Design and let them create, deploy, version and roll back your Runners, and push updates straight to your site, right from the chat. No dashboards, no clicking.
Point any MCP-capable AI at UrlyUp. Locally, Claude Code manages the Runners on your Mac: list, deploy from a git repo, update to a new version, roll back, tail logs. In the cloud, Claude Design pushes updates to your live site through a scoped, revocable token, so your platform key never leaves the server. Standards-based Model Context Protocol, so it works with the tools you already use.
One-click setup: install the UrlyUp extension in Claude Desktop, enter your key, done. It talks to Mac Hosting on your machine, so your key never leaves it. Optional cloud deploys push updates to your live urlyup.com site through a scoped, revocable token.
One click install for the most popular applications accessible over the Internet.
Industry standard web facing apps can be spun out at no charge for one or unlimited users. All Open Source with thousands of reviews on github. Popular self-hosted apps, pre-configured, include:
Publish from Open Design.
Send what you made to UrlyUp and get a public link you can open anywhere — no hosting to set up, no pipeline, no server to touch.
Open Design publishes to UrlyUp. Send your work over and it is live at a public URL you can open from any device and share with anyone. No hosting account, no deploy pipeline, no server to administer. Change it and the link stays the same.
Host Minecraft on your own Mac for $4.99/month. Don't rent 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB of someone else's server and pay more every time your world grows. Use the RAM and SSD you already own, keep your Minecraft world on your Mac, and share it the host name and port with your friends instantly.
No artificial RAM or storage tiers.
UrlyUp does not create unlimited hardware: Minecraft can use the available memory, storage, CPU, and internet capacity of your host Mac.
From a one-minute page to the whole enterprise.
Ask an AI for a website and it's live on your own public URL in seconds. Grow into databases, container stacks and compliance-grade setups without ever switching tools.
When a static page isn't enough, the same app runs Node, Python, PHP and full Docker Compose stacks with real databases, each isolated in its own protected space, with optional Always On failover.
Know HTML? You're already hosting.
If you can write an index.html, generate one with a static site generator, or have an AI agent make one, you can be online from your own Mac in minutes. Drop the folder in and UrlyUp hands it a public URL.
git push,
and it's live.
Connect a repo and every push triggers an automatic update. UrlyUp pulls, builds and reloads your Runner, then verifies a real 200 before it goes live.
$ git commit -m "ship it" $ git push origin main → webhook received → build + reload runner ✓ 200 verified · live at your-app-on.urlyup.com
From download to a live URL in about a minute.
Control everything hosted from Mac Hosting application.
Manage Docker Compose stacks, edit configs, watch live logs and fix broken deployments, without leaving a native macOS window.
The public URL terminates inside that protected space over an encrypted connection. Your visitors hit a real HTTPS address; your Mac's own network is never exposed.
Run almost anything.
Each runtime is isolated in its own network namespace with a per-Runner user, the same isolation used in production hosting. Feed a Runner by pulling from your git repository, local directory, or API, or simply call it via MCP from your AI agent.
Find your use case.
Tap a pill to see the self-hosted apps that fit. Every one ships as Docker, so it runs on your Mac in one click.
Email, already
set up.
Half the apps you host need to send email, signups, password resets, notifications. Wiring up SMTP, a provider account, DNS records and API keys is the worst part. UrlyUp does it for you.
Server power,
desktop peace of mind.
UrlyUp doesn't run your code on macOS. It gives every app its own hardened, isolated space using Apple's built-in security technology, and everything you host lives safely inside it.
How the connection works.
Your app runs inside the UrlyUp Mac app, so it inherits the same protection macOS gives every app you install. UrlyUp just relays your public URL to it. With Live App enabled, a cloud mirror takes over the same URL whenever your Mac can't serve.
Served from the core
of the internet.
Your public URL is not answered from a customer network that rents transit. It comes from a single edge host wired straight into a Tier-1 backbone in the US East, so every region lands within the speed-of-light-in-fiber budget for its actual distance.
Bare-metal speed,
zero overhead.
WASM Runners execute directly on your Mac through WasmEdge, with no container and no isolation layer in the path. You get near-native performance, instant cold starts, and it costs you nothing extra.
# build once $ cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --release # UrlyUp serves it, live → https://my-wasm-on.urlyup.com ✓ 200
Compile Rust to wasm32-wasip1, drop it in, and it's public in seconds. Go, C, Zig and any WASI target work too.
Questions, answered.
Do I need to know Docker or the command line?+
No. Static sites, Node, Python and PHP Runners just need a folder or a repo, UrlyUp handles the rest. Docker is there when you want it, and the one-click catalog plus "Fix with AI" mean you rarely touch YAML.
Is my Mac exposed to the internet?+
No ports are opened on your Mac. The public URL is a secure connection that terminates inside that protected space, so traffic reaches your Runner without ever touching your Mac's own network configuration.
What happens when I close the app or restart?+
Quitting closes the window; you decide whether hosting keeps running. UrlyUp can auto-start Mac Hosting on launch so your Runners come back on their own, and it protects your data on shutdown so nothing is lost.
Does it keep running when my Mac sleeps?+
With Live App active, your Runners stay available even if your Mac goes offline. Without it, your Runners are live while your Mac is awake and hosting is on, so for always-on serving without Live App, keep the Mac awake, a Mac mini on a shelf is the classic setup this was built for.
How much does it cost?+
Self-hosting is unlimited and free. Live App, which keeps your Runners reachable even when your Mac is offline, is $4.99/mo and includes up to 1 GB of storage. The compute for self-hosting is your own Mac, so there are no per-app or per-URL hosting bills. We even provide the bandwidth to serve your Mac-hosted products to your own users, free, so anyone can reach what you host.
Why sign in with Apple?+
It's the only account step, and it protects everyone. Apple verifies your identity but passes us only the bare minimum about you (you can even hide your email), so your personal data and online presence stay private. That verified identity is also what lets us safely run the service: we can hold accounts accountable and shut down misuse of the network, while the public gets Apple's guarantee that you are who you say you are. No separate password to manage.
