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

Ship secure code without a security team. Codecanic scans any repository for vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, and supply-chain risk — then opens the pull request that fixes them. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Codecanic requires an auto-renewable Codecanic Pro subscription ($14.99/month, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers) to access its features on iOS and macOS. WHAT IT FINDS • Known CVEs in your dependencies — npm and PyPI, checked against the OSV vulnerability database • Leaked secrets and API keys — pattern + entropy detection, always redacted in reports • Risky code — static analysis for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python (injection, weak crypto, unsafe eval, and more) • Supply-chain threats — typosquatted package names and non-registry dependency sources • Repo hygiene — committed .env files, missing lockfiles, missing CI, loose TypeScript settings WHAT IT FIXES — AUTOMATICALLY Codecanic doesn't stop at a report. One tap opens a real GitHub pull request that: • Bumps vulnerable dependencies to the patched version (with a merge-confidence score) • Removes committed secrets from tracking and adds them to .gitignore • Adds a baseline CI workflow if you have none You review and merge. Your repo, your call — always. WORKS WITH YOUR STACK • Scan public repos from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket by URL • Connect GitHub securely (GitHub App, least-privilege) for private repos and fix PRs • Export reports and SBOMs • Optional: bring your own AI key for AI-assisted repairs — your key stays on your device YOUR CODE IS NEVER STORED Scans run on a shallow temporary clone that is deleted the moment the scan finishes. Reports contain findings, not your source. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Codecanic Pro: $14.99/month, auto-renewing. 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
