Local-first app, image and server workflow tools
Ghostly tools are local-first utilities designed for repetitive tasks: sharing local apps, optimising website images, managing servers, and automating small infrastructure jobs without creating another cloud dashboard.
Purpose of this hub
Choose the tool first, then return to your work
This page offers a concise overview of Ghostly desktop tools, designed to help you quickly select the right utility, visit the product page, and assess if it suits your task.
Specialised utilities
Select the Ghostly tool suited to your task
The main tools are deliberately focused: each handles a single repeated task with a compact desktop interface, clear actions and no mandatory account.

Convert a local development server, dashboard, API, or webhook receiver into a public preview link with a single click. Designed for when localhost is handy but cannot be shared.

Standard behaviour
The tools keep your routine close to your device
Ghostly tools don’t replace every platform or provider dashboard. They’re designed for repeated tasks where a focused local utility is quicker, calmer and more reliable.
Bottom line
Open the tool page suited to your task and try it immediately
Use GhostlyShare for public local previews, PixelPress for local image conversion, and GhostlyBridge to keep server tasks within a focused desktop app.
