No. Proxee is for web developers previewing a locally running web dev server on an iPhone.

Clicking "Go Live" exposes the proxied dev site on your local network. Proxee requires pairing before any client can connect and blocks unpaired access automatically.

That said, Proxee is not a zero-trust public sharing tool and should be treated like any local dev server: use it on networks you trust. It's designed for a solo developer previewing their own local app on their own devices. It modifies pages in transit to inject sync logic, but this only applies to your local dev site, only while "Go Live" is active, and only to paired LAN clients. It is not a production proxy and should not be used as one.

Proxee is 100% local. The proxy runs entirely on your Mac and communicates only over your LAN - no cloud relay, no external servers involved.

Because Proxee serves over HTTP, not HTTPS, just like your localhost server. When your iPhone connects via a LAN IP, the browser flags any unencrypted HTTP connection. It means the connection isn't TLS-encrypted.

In future updates, a local root certificate might be added, which will allow Proxee to serve over HTTPS, eliminate the warning and encrypt LAN traffic end-to-end.

Proxee is framework-agnostic and handles the proxying transparently. It proxies your dev server at the HTTP layer and injects a small client script - no adapters, no project changes. SSR-safe mode is the default to avoid hydration issues. If your framework runs a local dev server, Proxee should work with it.

If assets or requests are still pointing to localhost directly, try switching to Strict mode. Some dev servers may also need their allowed-origin or CORS setting adjusted.

However, local dev servers can be quirky, so some edge cases exist. If Proxee doesn't work with your setup, email support@proxee.dev within 14 days of your purchase date for a full refund - no questions asked.

Proxee works great for landing pages, marketing pages, static sites, blogs and documentation sites - the kinds of pages your users and customers are likely to access on their phones, so it's always worth making sure they look and work great on those devices!

If you're unsure whether it works for your setup, there's a 14-day money-back guarantee. Just email support@proxee.dev.

Proxee as a product packages the workflow that enables previewing and interacting with a local web dev server on your iPhone: QR pairing, automatic device recognition and reconnection, trusted devices, navigation and scroll sync, theme and reload state plus the iOS companion app that keeps your iPhone screen awake while you build.

Proxee packages all of this into a polished Mac and iPhone experience with no config.

Proxee currently syncs what's deterministic: navigation, page scroll, element scroll and theme state. It doesn't mirror client-side DOM state.

Clicking "Load more", expanding an accordion, opening a dropdown, or any interaction that changes in-page state on one device won't replicate on the other. Think of it as keeping both screens pointed at the same place, not as a remote control.

This is an area Proxee will expand over time.

No. Proxee Companion for iPhone is free on the App Store. It does require a licensed copy of Proxee on your Mac to work.

After purchase, you get one year of updates from your buy date. After that, the app keeps working locally on your Mac - you just won't receive newer updates unless you buy a fresh license.

Yes. One license activates one Mac. If you switch Macs, you can deactivate and reactivate on the new one.

Some routers - particularly on public networks, corporate Wi-Fi or older hardware - may block device-to-device communication. If you run into this, creating a personal hotspot from your Mac or iPhone can work around it.

If Proxee doesn't work with your setup, email support@proxee.dev within 14 days of your purchase date for a full refund - no questions asked.
