The Static.app alternative with company auth
Everything you upload to Static.app,
without the zip archive.
Static.app is a one-click host for static sites: drag in an archive or a folder, get it live, edit in the browser, sync from a desktop app. display.dev is smaller on purpose. One HTML or Markdown file, no archive, and a URL whose audience you choose – anyone, named email addresses, or everyone at your company.
Route 01 – from your agent
Your agent publishes it right now.
Paste this into Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent. It publishes and hands back the URL.
Copies the full prompt, including what your agent should do once the URL comes back.
Route 02 – drop the file
Publish one file, not a bundle.
One HTML or Markdown file. Anonymous publishing takes up to 50 MB. No archive to build, no folder to zip, no sync app to install.
No file to hand?
- html + markdown
- up to 50 MB
- no signup
Either route returns a URL and a claim link. Claim it and you decide who can open it – anyone, named people, or your whole company.

What Static.app does
Its own line is "Drag-n-drop an archive with your page or a website and we will take care of the rest". Around that sit an in-browser code editor, desktop sync apps for Mac and Windows, GitHub Actions deployment, a REST API and an MCP server for connecting agents.
It is a competent site host with a real programmatic surface. What it is not is an access-control product: the sites it serves are public, and there is no company identity to attach to them.

When Static.app is the right tool
- A real multi-page site
- Several pages, images, stylesheets, a folder structure you want preserved. That is what it is for.
- Editing after the fact, in the browser
- Its code editor means you can fix a typo without re-zipping and re-uploading.
- Keeping a local folder in sync
- The desktop app is a genuine convenience if a site is something you maintain rather than publish once. Its REST API, MCP server and GitHub Actions integration cover the automated path too.
A site host answers a different question
Most agent output is one self-contained file, read by a handful of named people, and then either updated or forgotten. A site host optimises for the opposite: many files, many readers, kept live indefinitely.
- ✗Zip, upload, unzipCeremony around a document that was already one file.
- ✗Public by constructionA static site is served to whoever asks for it.
- ✗No viewer listNo sign-in, so no record of who read the analysis.
Who can open it
An open URL, served with noindex, when the content is genuinely public.
Named email addresses only, each with a one-time password by email. Per person, and removable per person.
On Pro, Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID decides. Offboarding closes the page without anyone rotating anything.
Publishing is one command. dsp publish ./report.html, an API call, or an MCP tool call from your agent. dsp publish ./site/ handles a directory when you do need assets.

Common questions.
Can display.dev host a multi-page site?
dsp publish ./site/ publishes a directory with its assets, which covers a rendered docs build or a report with images. It is not a site platform though – there is no build step, no routing configuration and no functions.
Do I need to zip anything?
No. A single .html or .md file is the unit. Drop it, or point the CLI at it.
Can I edit the page after publishing?
You publish a new version at the same URL, from the agent or the CLI. There is no in-browser code editor; if editing in place matters to you, Static.app does that and we do not.
Is there a free tier?
Yes, and anonymous publishing needs no account at all – you get a URL and a one-time claim link back.
Will my page be public?
Only if you choose that. The other options are named email addresses or your whole company via SSO.
Publish your first artifact in 15 seconds.
Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Pro (€49/month flat).
