Meet a superb Web Debugging Proxy that can act like a middleman, aka Proxyman. ### Features - Directly Capture & Inspect HTTP/HTTPS from your iOS/iPad Devices without using MacBooks. - Decrypt and View HTTP/HTTPS Request/Response in plain text - JSON Syntax Highlighting - Exclusively designed for iPhone and iPad (Landscape and Two Columns) - Share traffic to Proxyman macOS - a native macOS app for better inspection - Pin working domains - Quick filter with URL, Header Body, and Type of Request/Response (e.g., JSON, Form, HTML, CSS, Document, etc) - Better Request/Response Previewer: Multiple columns, JSON Preview, JSON TreeView, etc - Safe Lock: Protect your sensitive data with FaceID / TouchID / Passcode - Advanced Debugging Tools: SSL Proxying, Block List, Map Local, Breakpoint, etc - Rewrite & Scripting ### Proxyman macOS Proxyman for iOS works perfectly with Proxyman for macOS (native macOS app, supports macOS 26 and M4 Chip) ### How it works Proxyman iOS creates a local VPN on your device and then forwards all traffic to a Local Man-in-The-Middle Server. As long as the VPN is active, Proxyman iOS can capture all traffic over Wi-Fi and cellular Data. ### How about my sensitive data? - Proxyman Root Certificate is a self-signed certificate that is generated on your local machine. Thus, all requests and responses are captured and stored on your devices and Proxyman does not have access to your data. - There are no remote servers involved. What’s in your devices, it’s in your devices. ************* - Support: https://proxyman.com/support - Privacy Policy: https://proxyman.com/privacy - Terms of Services: https://proxyman.com/terms-of-use

Perfect for digital signage, IoT dashboards, and interactive kiosks, it gives you complete control over what’s shown on each screen from anywhere. Key Features • Display separate web pages on your device and an external screen • Switch between mirrored and independent display modes • Control remotely through WebHooks or the Remote Control Portal • Change URLs, refresh pages, and toggle auto-refresh • Enable web inspector and debug your web pages and dashboards • Adjust brightness, sound, and UI visibility • Send speech messages and capture screenshots remotely • Enable Kiosk Mode for locked-down interactive displays Use Cases • Digital Signage: Show menus, announcements, or live dashboards on external monitors and update them remotely. • IoT Dashboards: Display smart home or system metrics on a dedicated screen with auto-refresh intervals. • Interactive Kiosks: Use your iPad as a control surface and show related content on an external display, for hotels, events, or information desks. Privacy First Web Sync collects no personal information. The only data ever transmitted consists of screenshots of web displays, and only when you trigger the screenshot function from the Remote Control Portal. These images are used solely to display back to you. Local Control You can use Web Sync entirely on your device without any remote connection. Configure URLs, refresh pages, switch modes, and more, all locally from the app’s Settings. Kiosk Mode and remote control require a one-time in-app purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Proxyman at 800 against Web Sync's 1. Proxyman also leads on chart position (#10 vs unranked). Web Sync's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Proxyman sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Web Sync sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Web Sync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 800 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
