Vercel CLI Enables Account-Free App Deployments with One-Hour Expiry

·2026.10.22 09:00

Key point

Temporary deployments use the tmp.now domain and require claiming within one hour to keep the project live.

Details

  • Vercel CLI now supports deploying applications without a user account, generating a live URL for immediate sharing.
  • Temporary deployments are hosted on the dedicated tmp.now domain, distinct from vercel.app, and automatically expire after one hour.
  • To retain a project, users must open the claim link provided in the CLI output and sign in or create an account within the expiry window.
  • The CLI builds the project locally when necessary before returning the deployment URL.
  • Users are advised to keep the claim link private to prevent unauthorized access to the project.
