Why Developers Need a Live Sandbox

Escape Localhost

Local environments like Docker or XAMPP are great, but CORS, webhook integrations (like Stripe/Twilio), and mobile device testing require a public URL. Our free tier provides exactly that.

API Mocking & Webhooks

Write simple PHP scripts to catch webhook payloads or serve static JSON responses. Perfect for separating frontend and backend development workflows during the early stages.
