No configuration files needed

The deployment pipeline you deserve, working in three simple steps.

01 / Connect

Pick your repository

Sign in with GitHub and select any repo. Django, Rails, Laravel, Next.js — if it has a Dockerfile or a standard build process, we handle the rest automatically.

02 / Push or open a PR

Get a live preview URL

Push to any tracked branch, or open a pull request. We build a live container automatically — and if it's a PR, drop the URL as a GitHub comment with a commit-status check. No CI setup needed.

03 / Share

Share with clients or QA

Share a password-protected, auto-expiring HTTPS URL. No user accounts, no VPN, no zombie containers — it self-destructs after your TTL.

GitHub integration

Every PR gets a live preview link, automatically.

Open a pull request and PreviewDrop posts a bot comment with the preview URL, build status, branch, and commit — before your reviewer even clicks through.

The actual dashboard

What you actually get

One project page per repo. Every deployment with its commit, status, preview URL, and full build log streamed live over WebSocket — searchable, copyable, downloadable.

previewdrop.dev/dashboard/projects

All your repos at a glance — live status, branch, last deploy.

Every deployment with commit, status, preview URL, and TTL.

Build logs stream live over WebSocket — searchable, copyable, downloadable.

Runtime container logs — tail your app after it goes live.

Inject secrets and env vars per project — encrypted at rest.

Request volume, error rates, and latency — per preview, per branch.

Branch tracking, build commands, TTL, preview password — all per project.

All your repos at a glance — live status, branch, last deploy.

Share anywhere

Password-protected, auto-expiring, QR-ready share URLs.

Every branch preview — and every PR preview — gets a password-protectable HTTPS URL with a built-in QR code and a TTL. Hand a client or QA a single link without spinning up a staging server or leaving ngrok open all night.

For agencies:

Send clients a password-protected link that self-destructs after their review. No staging servers, no ngrok tunnel open all night, no leftover URLs indexed by Google.
