200 OK Web Server is a cross-platform static file server app rebuilt by the original author of Web Server for Chrome, available as a desktop (Tauri/Rust) app, Android app, iOS app, ChromeOS Linux launcher, and Chrome extension. It serves any local directory over HTTP with MIME detection, directory listing, SPA mode, CORS headers, ETag caching, and range requests.

Use cases

• serve a local folder over http for web development
• share files with devices on the same network
• test a single-page app locally with spa routing
• replace web server for chrome after chrome apps were discontinued
• serve static files on android or chromeos
• quickly preview html files from a directory

When to choose

• you need a simple point-and-click static file server across desktop and mobile
• you want a lightweight local server without command-line setup
• you need LAN file sharing or local web development on Android/ChromeOS

When to avoid

• you need a production web server with dynamic backend capabilities
• you require HTTPS or authentication, which are still on the roadmap
• you need iOS support today - the iOS app is implemented but not yet released
