Codable is a lightweight web developer toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Use the Safari extension to inspect pages where they already run. Select elements inline, browse the DOM tree, view HTML, inspect styles and node metadata, evaluate JavaScript, capture console output, view source, inspect resources, and review network activity. On supported devices, on-device Apple Intelligence can be used to find elements and perform edits. The main app has three tabs for development and testing: - Resize: a browser surface for testing responsive layouts with custom viewport width, height, scale, presets, and drag handles. - Scratchpad: a JavaScript editor and runner with syntax coloring, code-focused keyboard shortcuts, document support, and optional Apple Intelligence assistance on supported devices. - Extension: a small info page with instructions on how to enable the Safari extension, and a way to view a local demo page with CSS, JavaScript, resources, console logs, and network requests to try out the tools within Safari.

STIL.HUB

Read full description

STIL.HUB turns your iPhone into a control surface for your Mac. Lay out the actions you use most as buttons, then tap to run them. Keep the iPhone on your desk and switch apps, take screenshots, or run a saved routine without moving your hands off the keyboard. Turn it sideways for a desk layout with a clock and menu, and it works as a desk clock too. ■ What you can do - Launch and switch apps (pick from what is installed on your Mac) - Send keystrokes (copy, paste, screenshots, and more) - Turn the iPhone screen into a trackpad for your Mac's cursor (tap to click, two fingers to scroll and right-click, press and hold to drag, flick with two fingers for momentum scrolling) - A remote for video (play and pause, previous and next, 10-second skip, chapters, captions, full screen, volume, brightness). The lower half stays a trackpad - Run Shortcuts - Run scripts (Python, shell, and others; results come back to the iPhone, and you can schedule them by time) - Media controls such as volume and playback - Send text you type or dictate on iPhone to the input field on your Mac - Send text you copied on iPhone to your Mac - Run the numbers in the iPhone calculator and send the result to your Mac (arrow keys and Enter included) - Screenshots (area, full screen, and toolbar) - Browse folders on your Mac from the iPhone to open or receive files - Give each app its own deck, and your iPhone follows when you switch apps on the Mac - Run actions straight from Home Screen and StandBy widgets - Start quickly from templates (Claude, Cursor, Xcode, Final Cut Pro, video sites, and more) - Edit your decks from the Mac as well ■ Connection and privacy - Pair once with a 6-digit code while the iPhone and Mac are on the same network - Traffic stays on your local network and is encrypted. Nothing goes to a server - No account required. No data collected Get the free Mac companion app "STIL.HUB Companion" at stil.photo/hub and move it to your Applications folder.
