Slim is a Go CLI tool that maps localhost ports to clean HTTPS domains like myapp.test with trusted certificates, and can expose local servers via public slim.show tunnel URLs. It supports path-based routing to multiple ports, YAML config for multi-service projects, and password-protected or expiring shared URLs.

Use cases

• give my localhost a clean https domain instead of localhost:3000
• share my local dev server with a teammate via a public url
• route /api on one domain to a different backend port
• set up multiple local services with one config file
• get trusted https certificates for .test domains locally
• demo a local app publicly without deploying
• create a password-protected temporary tunnel with auto-expiry

When to choose

• you want zero-config HTTPS local domains with trusted certs on macOS or Linux
• you need to quickly share a local server over the internet with optional password and TTL
• you run several local services and want path-based routing and a single up/down command

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade reverse proxy or tunnel with high traffic and SLAs
• you require Windows support or a GUI
• you need advanced load balancing, auth middleware, or observability features of nginx/traefik
