here.now alternative
Keep an agent's page for 30 days without an account.
An agent publishes HTML or Markdown to Display with no account. The page stays open for 30 days, and you can claim it to keep it.
The demo shows an agent publishing a doc to display.dev – from a chat or a terminal – then a teammate opening its URL, selecting Edit, changing a number on the page and saving v2, a colleague commenting on v2, the agent publishing v3 at the same URL and resolving the comment, and the doc being shared with someone outside the company.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Code – any agent that writes a file. Switch agents anytime – your URLs, versions and comments stay put.

What is a here.now alternative that keeps agent-published pages past 24 hours?
here.now gives an agent a quick anonymous URL that expires after 24 hours. A here.now account keeps sites until you delete them. Display (display.dev), the docs workspace for agents and people, keeps an anonymous publish for 30 days. The agent gets a public preview URL and a claim URL. After you claim the artifact, you can make it private, invite people by email, collect comments and publish updates at the same URL. Use here.now for a public site, a custom domain or file storage for agents. Use Display when colleagues review the page.

What happens after 24 hours
- here.now
- An anonymous site expires after 24 hours. To keep it, you claim the site with an account. Account sites stay until you delete them or set a time limit.
- Display
- An anonymous publish returns a public preview URL and a single-use claim URL. The preview stays open for 30 days. From day 30 to day 60, the preview shows an "expired, claim to restore" page, and a claim still restores the artifact. After 60 days, the artifact is gone. The preview sets
noindex, so search engines do not list it. - After you claim it on Display
- The artifact moves into your organization. You choose who can open it, and colleagues comment on passages. Your agent reads the comments and publishes a new version at the same URL. You can also correct a line in the browser without a new agent run.
- Limits without an account
- An MCP host can publish through
https://api.display.dev/v1/public/mcp, which has only thepublishtool. Display accepts 10 anonymous publishes for each IP address in an hour, with files up to 50MB. See Publish without an account.
Publish with an agent and no account
Where here.now is better
- Agent file storage
- here.now Drives are private cloud folders where agents keep files, plans and research. Each Drive keeps a version history. Display keeps published artifacts, not agent working files.
- Server-side calls
- here.now proxy routes call outside APIs from its servers and add keys that you store. Display hosts finished files only.
- Custom domains
- A free here.now account has 1 custom domain. Hobby has 5 and a name at
{name}.here.now. Display has custom domains on Enterprise, by contract. - Passwords
- here.now can protect a site with a password. Display has no password mode.
- Team accounts
- here.now team accounts are free, with up to 50 members each.
- Price
- here.now Hobby costs $4 a month. Display Solo costs €15 a month.
Where Display is better
- Anonymous pages last longer
- An anonymous publish stays open for 30 days, not 24 hours.
- Comments that agents answer
- Comments tie to a passage and a version. Agents read them, reply and resolve them.
- Organization ownership
- The organization owns each artifact, with Owner, Admin and Member roles.
- Company sign-in and records
- On Pro, colleagues sign in with Google or Microsoft, and Display keeps a 90-day audit log.
- MCP with sign-in
- The MCP server accepts OAuth or an API key. here.now says that it does not advertise MCP.
- Markdown
- Markdown renders with themes and Mermaid diagrams.
- Claude
- Display is in Claude's connector directory.
When to use which
- Use here.now
- for a public site, a custom domain, agent file storage, or a quick link that you do not need after a day.
- Use Netlify or Cloudflare Pages
- for a public static site that you update from Git.
- Use Display
- when colleagues review the document, when it must stay private, or when an agent must read comments and publish the next version. People outside your organization can view a private artifact after they enter an OTP. Guest comments are not available yet.
