Portals on Your Runner

Portals, which you know and love from using them in orbs, now work on your local machines too.

You can ask Amp to start a dev server or build a website on your machine and open it from the thread's Portal tab, regardless of where you are.

A thread on a macOS runner asking Amp to create an overview page of all the file system use on the Mac and show it in a portal. Amp replies with a Disk Usage portal link, and the Portal pane beside it shows a Disk Usage web app: 241 GB of 383 GB used, a capacity bar split by category, and a donut chart showing that simulators and Xcode data take 155 GB.

Turn on Allow Portals under Settings › Runner in the macOS app, or start your runner with amp --no-tui --remote-control-portals.

Portals on your runner are only accessible to you. To share them with your workspace, start a shared runner with --share, or turn on Share With Workspace in the macOS app, and everyone in the workspace can open its portals.
