Internal URL App

Open URLs on mobile devices by scanning QR codes.

By Darong MeanMarch 23, 2025

Use mobile devices to scan QR codes and open Internal URLs.

The app is available at https://darongmean.com/internal-url/app .

Why do you want to use the app?

An Internal URL is a URL that is hosted on a private network. For example, http://localhost:3000 or http://127.0.0.1:3000.

I usually run a web server on my laptop and open http://localhost:3000 when developing web applications. Then I want to test the applications on mobile devices.

The issue is it takes more steps than I wanted to open the URL on mobile devices. I might be in the zone, or I am too lazy to switch context.
