USE CASES

A controlled handoff for local development work.

Publish a demo for review, connect an authorized service to a local port, or share a selected document without turning Pubto into permanent hosting.

01
AI development

Let AI publish the work it just made.

Ask a supported coding agent to inspect the repository, identify the service that matters, publish it through Desktop, verify the public URL, and return the result.

Example requestPreview this project with Pubto for 30 minutes.
02
Office access

Connect to the office without carrying the office computer.

Map an authorized remote HTTP, WebSocket, or TCP endpoint to a local port. The current preview supports the transport; production use still needs your service's own authentication and security controls.

See how it works
Example requestMap the team MySQL endpoint to localhost:13306.
03
Client handoff

Present the file without carrying the computer.

Publish a selected PowerPoint, PDF, spreadsheet, or folder from your computer. Supported formats open in the browser and other formats use a download fallback.

See how it works
Example requestShare the product deck with a password until 8pm.
04
Team preview

Give every reviewer the same working page.

Publish a frontend, API, and WebSocket service as independent endpoints, then collect their links on one share page. Every publication keeps its own address, state, and expiry.

Example requestPublish the frontend and API, then build a review page.
Not in this release

Remote terminal and screen control remain future work.

The current product publishes selected services and files. It does not provide a remote shell, screen sharing, or remote Codex control.

Desktop connects out through an assigned Relay.

Control assigns the publication. Gateway handles public HTTP and WebSocket entry, while Relay carries the outbound connection to Desktop and supports TCP. The diagram describes the architecture, not live geographic coverage.
