Introduction

What is FlareDeck?

FlareDeck is a desktop control panel for managing Cloudflare Tunnels during local development. Instead of juggling cloudflared CLI commands, YAML configs, and terminal windows, FlareDeck gives you a visual interface to create, configure, and monitor your tunnels.

Built with Tauri and React, FlareDeck runs natively on your machine with minimal resource overhead.

Who is it for?

FlareDeck is designed for developers who use Cloudflare Tunnels to expose local services — whether for webhook testing, sharing dev environments, or running demo servers. If you find yourself repeatedly editing ~/.cloudflared/*.yml files and restarting cloudflared, FlareDeck is for you.

Key Capabilities

• Profile Management — Create named tunnel configurations, each with its own ingress rules and settings. Run multiple profiles independently.
• Visual Ingress Editor — Map hostnames to local services without hand-editing YAML. Add, reorder, and validate rules through a drag-and-drop interface.
• DNS Routing — Configure DNS routes for your tunnels directly from the app.
• Live Monitoring — Stream cloudflared stdout/stderr in real time. See tunnel status at a glance with clear indicators for running, starting, stopping, and error states.
• Raw YAML Editor — Drop into full YAML editing when you need fine-grained control over cloudflared configuration options.
• WSL-Aware — Automatically handles IP rewriting for services running inside WSL.

Architecture

FlareDeck operates entirely on your local machine. It reads and writes configuration files in ~/.cloudflared/, and spawns cloudflared as a child process — there are no external API calls to Cloudflare's dashboard. Your tunnel credentials stay on disk, and FlareDeck never transmits them anywhere.
