If you start the server on your pc every device in your network can access your webserver. You only have to figure out which is your local ip adress. On windows go to CMD and type in: "ipconfig". Now you'll se your local ip most looking like "192.168.x.x". if you type in this adress in any browser on a device in your local network it'll work without any problems. For connections through other networks you'll need portforwarding.

If you want to test externally, I recommend https://ngrok.com/ .

I only want to access it locally, to develop the site using my laptop.

You can. Just access the URL from your laptop.
