Host a Bolt.new export as a live URL.
Bolt built you an app inside StackBlitz. Download the project as a ZIP, drop it here, and it goes live at its own link on nudgehost.site.
- 25MBa file on the free plan
- 10 linkslive at once, free
- No capon visitors, on any plan
What they see
Your Bolt app, live outside StackBlitz.
The built app goes live at its own nudgehost.site address. Send the link and it opens like any website, with no StackBlitz editor and no NudgeHost header around it. An app uploaded without an account carries a small NudgeHost bar along the bottom until you claim it with a free account.
- Its own nudgehost.site address
- Only the app, with no editor around it
- No Bolt or StackBlitz account needed
How it works
From Bolt to a live link in three steps.
Build and drop the ZIP
Download the project, build it if it holds only source, and drag the ZIP onto the uploader. Signed out, the ZIP can be up to 25MB, and you can keep 3 links live at a time.
Copy the app's address
NudgeHost unpacks the build and the app goes live at its own address. Name the link in the upload card first and it reads like habit-tracker.nudgehost.site.
Send it for review
Paste it into Slack, an email or a text. Whoever opens it needs no StackBlitz account and no NudgeHost one.
After you send it
Keep iterating on the same link.
Most of this is on the free plan. The detail behind each visit comes with Pro, and custom domains with Pro and Studio.
Upload each round over the last
The address, the view count and any password or end date stay the same, so a client with the link always sees the latest round.
See how often it's visited
Free accounts see how many times the app was visited. Pro adds the time and country of each visit, with a CSV export.
Put it on your own domain
Connect an address on a domain you own, such as www.yourname.com, 1 on Pro or 5 on Studio. The app there can be found in Google like any other website, while its nudgehost.site address stays out of search.

Why a live link beats a StackBlitz preview.
A StackBlitz preview opens inside StackBlitz, which is more than a reviewer needs. A NudgeHost link shows only the app, at an address of its own. Before you upload, you can check what the Bolt download contains to see whether it holds a build or only source.
A download with a dist folder is ready to go. One with only source needs npm install and npm run build first, then a ZIP of the folder the build writes. After that the upload works the same as putting a v0 build online.
A live prototype makes a strong case in a job hunt. Putting a project in front of a recruiter covers how to send it. Upgrading to Pro or Studio adds a custom domain for the version a client sees.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the export option in Bolt?
In the StackBlitz interface that backs Bolt, look for the Download project option in the file menu. It produces a ZIP of the whole project.
Do I host the source or the built app?
The built app. If your export only has source, run npm install && npm run build locally and zip the dist or build folder.
Will the StackBlitz preview URL still work?
Yes, the StackBlitz preview is unaffected. Your NudgeHost URL is a separate, parallel link you control.
Can I update the app without changing the URL?
Yes. Re-export from Bolt, upload the new ZIP to the same NudgeHost link, and the URL stays the same.
What happens if I upload the source by mistake?
A Vite project's source has an index.html of its own, so it goes live as a site, but the page won't run because it points at code that hasn't been built. Build it, zip the output folder and upload that over the top.
Will client-side routes load on a direct visit?
Yes. Any path with no file extension that isn't in the ZIP serves index.html, so the app's router can show the right screen. A missing script or image still returns a 404.
Do I zip the dist folder or what's inside it?
Either. When every file sits inside one folder, NudgeHost strips that folder, so the app serves from the root and the folder name never shows up in its addresses.
Is there a size limit?
The unpacked app has to fit the plan's file ceiling, 25MB on the free plan, 250MB on Pro and 1GB on Studio. A site can also hold up to 200 files.
Are any ZIPs turned away?
Two kinds. A ZIP with another ZIP inside it has to be unpacked first, and a password-protected ZIP has to be saved without its password.
Can I share it without making an account?
Yes. The app goes live straight away and lasts 7 days, and you can hold 3 links at once. Until you claim it, every page shows a small NudgeHost bar along the bottom.
What happens to a signed-out upload when I make an account?
It moves across to the account and stops expiring, as long as you're under the free plan's 10 links. The NudgeHost bar goes at the same time.
Does NudgeHost change my files?
No. The files are stored exactly as uploaded. On an app uploaded without an account, the NudgeHost bar is added to each page as it's served, and it stops the moment you claim the app.
Can I password-protect the app?
Yes, on Pro and Studio. Visitors enter the password on a NudgeHost page, then the app opens at its nudgehost.site address. A password-protected app doesn't serve on a custom domain, so pick one or the other.
Will reviewers see a new version straight away?
Yes. NudgeHost never caches the app's HTML, so the next page load serves the new build. Its other files are cached only in the visitor's own browser, for up to five minutes.
Can I choose the app's address?
Yes, including without an account. Name the link in the upload card before you drop the ZIP and the app lives at that name on nudgehost.site.
What shows when I paste the link into Slack?
Whatever the app's own title and preview tags say, because the link serves your HTML exactly as Bolt built it. Add a title and an og:image to index.html if you want a rich card.
What happens when I delete the app?
It stops serving straight away, every page and file with it, and the address returns a not-found error.
Can I put the app on a slide?
Yes. Every link on an account comes with a QR code, so a slide or a printed handout can open the app from a phone camera.
Does the app work on a phone?
It's served exactly as the build wrote it, so a layout that adapts to small screens in Bolt's preview adapts the same way on a phone.
Can I give the link an end date?
Yes, on any account plan. Set a date in the link's settings and the app stops serving after it. Visitors to its nudgehost.site address see a page saying the link has expired.
Can I host several Bolt prototypes?
Yes. A free account holds 10 live links at once, and Pro and Studio have no cap on how many you keep live.
What happens to my custom domain if I leave Pro?
The domain stops serving shortly after the plan ends, since only a paid plan can hold one. The app itself stays live at its nudgehost.site address.
Is there a limit on how many people can open it?
No. There's no visitor cap on any plan, so a prototype that gets passed around keeps working.
