Overview

Live Previews let you view a local dev server from the web or mobile app. Omnara creates a temporary tunnel to your machine and embeds the preview in an iframe.

​
Requirements

  • A running local dev server
  • cloudflared installed on the machine running the session

​
Use Live Previews

  1. Start your app locally, for example on http://localhost:3000
  2. Open the dashboard and toggle Preview
  3. Select the port to view
Warning: Live Previews currently support a single local service. If your frontend (for example localhost:5173) also calls other localhost services, those cross-localhost requests are not supported yet.

​
Security Notes

  • Preview links are tokenized and should be treated as sensitive
  • Tunnels stay active only while the session and daemon are running
