sharefly uploads a file or folder from your terminal and prints a link. HTML and Markdown open as pages, images and videos show in the page, anything else is a download. It works on your machine with zero setup, and for anyone on the internet once you add a Cloudflare Tunnel.
brew install --cask hackmajoris/apps/sharefly
Builds for macOS and Linux, or build from source with Go.
Pages, whole sites and Markdown open as they are, under a bar with the expiry. Images and videos show in the page with a Download button. Any other file gets a download page. Pick a file to see what visitors get.
$ sharefly serve report.html
Revenue by month, July to September
--onceEvery box starts with the command that does it.
$ sharefly serve report.html
Any HTML file, any name, opens as a page. Images and videos show in the page; any other file (an archive, a PDF) gets a download page. The first run starts a background server for you.
$ sharefly serve ./site
A folder with an index.html at its root, with its CSS, scripts and images. Use relative links inside it.
$ sharefly serve notes.md
Headings, tables, task lists and code come out readable in light or dark, with a button to download the original .md.
$ sharefly serve report.html | pbcopy
serve prints only the link, so it pipes into pbcopy, open or your own scripts.
$ sharefly serve report.html
The default. Links point at 127.0.0.1 and nothing leaves your computer.
$ sharefly serve report.html --tunnel quick
A random trycloudflare.com address, no account or domain. Needs cloudflared; the address changes when the server restarts.
$ sharefly config set tunnel token
Links on your Cloudflare domain that keep working. sharefly runs cloudflared for you and never calls the Cloudflare API.
$ sharefly config set server hlab:7787
Run the server on one machine in your Tailscale network and point every other device at it.
$ sharefly serve report.html --ttl 1h
Pick 30m, 1h, 3d or never; the default is 7 days. renew extends a link, rm ends it at once. Visitors see the expiry above the page.
$ sharefly serve secret.html --once
The link waits until someone presses Open, so chat previews don't use it up. That browser gets the page for a minute; after that, and for anyone else, it's gone.
$ sharefly serve report.html --password password: k7f3-x9qa-2mzt-c4wq
sharefly generates one and shows it once. Visitors get a password page; it goes to stderr, so pipes still get only the link.
$ sharefly dashboard
Opens a private page for the server you use, on this machine or your Tailscale host: every share with copy, renew and delete. It's never reachable through the public tunnel.
$ sharefly service install
Installs a launchd service on macOS or a systemd unit on Linux that restarts the server if it stops.
$ sharefly config
Every setting with where it comes from. Flags override the file for a single command; there are no environment variables to track.
$ sharefly ls
Every share with its ID, name, expiry and link, in local time.
sharefly runs cloudflared for you, restarts it if it crashes and stops it with the server. Pick the quick tunnel to try it, your own domain for links that last.
$ brew install cloudflared $ sharefly config set tunnel quick $ sharefly serve report.html https://<random-words>.trycloudflare.com/<id>
The address changes every time the server starts, so links stop working after sharefly stop.

If you installed cloudflared as a system service before, remove it with sudo cloudflared service uninstall so two connectors don't share the tunnel.
index.html in a folder.Expired shares are removed within 5 minutes. Every page is sent with Cache-Control: private, no-store, so a deleted share doesn't linger in Cloudflare's cache. The file server never lists directories.
