How to open a local dev server running on your Mac from your iPhone with Lody iOS

Use the Preview Chip to open a dev server an agent started, through the Lody Quick Tunnel.

Who it is forA developer whose coding agent started a local dev server on a Mac and who wants to see the result on the phone.

The problemThe dev server only runs on the computer, so checking the UI means being at the desk.

The outcomeThe user opens the dev server from the phone through a short-lived tunnel link, and can copy the link, open it in Safari, or stop sharing.

What you need first

  • An iPhone running iOS 26 or later
  • Access to a Lody service (the README does not describe how to sign up)
  • For building from source: macOS Sequoia or later, Xcode 26.5 or later with Command Line Tools, Node.js 22.13 or later, and pnpm 11.10.0

Steps

  1. Wait for the agent to report a local dev server in the session.
  2. Tap the Preview Chip above the composer to open the server through the Lody Quick Tunnel.
  3. Long-press the chip to copy the share link or open it in Safari.
  4. Stop sharing from the same long-press menu when you are finished.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Innei/lody-ios repo README, explain how the Preview Chip opens a local dev server reported by an agent on the user's Mac. Output the steps in order and note what the Quick Tunnel carries. Verify that the output says only short-lived tunnel links reach the app.

Caveat. The README says the preview depends on the machine's Lody Quick Tunnel, so it works only when the agent reports a local dev server and the tunnel is available.
