Before you choose

VAT is included where applicable. macOS 26 Tahoe or later is required on Intel or Apple silicon. The first hour is introductory; concurrent project sharing and timers are included. Assistant-created links default to a one-hour timeout and first-time approval is advertised. This is an outbound tunnel: a public URL can expose application content and actions even though the source remains on the Mac. Non-indexing is not authentication. No tunnel, assistant connection or access boundary was tested; no project was exposed.
Workflow and handoff
Use a sanitized test project, verify public routes and intended viewers, confirm the assistant’s sharing request and timer and pause the link after the review.
