Their edge, or this disk.
LocalCan wins at sleep-proof branded URLs because they run on their servers. We will not pretend otherwise.
LocalCan names localhost and publishes a URL. Protection and snapshots live on their servers. Subscription for teams.
Where they win. People who want a branded URL that stays up when the lid closes, and who accept an account on someone else's edge.
The difference. 1NetworkTool keeps traffic and locks on this disk. Public is a plug (Cloudflare, ngrok token, or your VPS). Zero-account core.

Does the public URL survive closing the lid?
Not in v1 without a box you attach. Public is best-effort and labeled that way. Local always works.
