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

About

Riuve

Features
Read full description

Riuve is the notification and analytics platform for apps that care about engagement. Know what your users do. Reach them when it matters. Built for developers who'd rather ship product than babysit a marketing cloud. Track every event your users trigger — from a tap to a purchase. Segment them by behavior, attributes, or inactivity. Reach them at the right moment with push notifications, emails, or multi-step drip automations. One dashboard, every channel. Riuve captures user behavior with one line of code and enriches every event automatically — user identity, device, location, locale, app version, session context. No boilerplate, no setup. Events keep flowing even when offline, syncing automatically when the connection returns. Send the right message at the right time. Schedule one-off pushes, run recurring campaigns, or launch full drip sequences triggered by user behavior. Build multi-step chains that respond to what your users actually do — onboarding flows, cart recovery, re-engagement campaigns, all without writing scheduling logic yourself. Quiet hours, frequency caps, and daily limits keep your users engaged, never annoyed. Target users by event history, attributes, inactivity, or completed funnels with AND/OR logic, time windows, and property filters — without writing SQL. Test variants of any campaign with deterministic, fair distribution. Send the right message in the right language with per-locale content and automatic fallback. Track funnels, cohort retention, real-time event streams, and per-campaign performance to know what works, what doesn't, and who's slipping away. Riuve is developer-first. A clean API, transparent docs, an open status page. SDKs for React Native, Expo, and Next.js. No upsells, no surprises. Your data is yours. Riuve only collects what you explicitly track. We never sell user data, never share it with third parties, and never use it to train models. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You control retention, you control deletion, and you can export everything anytime. Whether you're running cart recovery flows, sending breaking news, onboarding SaaS users, or re-engaging dormant players — if your app talks to its users, Riuve makes that conversation work. Install, initialize, and track your first event in under five minutes. No sales calls, no onboarding gauntlets. Ship the product, we'll handle the rest.
