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
Programmer Finder

Programmer Finder connects Indonesian developers who are actually nearby. Sign in with GitHub, open the local map, wave first, and chat after both sides agree. Key Features: • Real GitHub-verified profiles tied to actual GitHub accounts • Map discovery to find developers within a 5-200 km radius and filter by tech stack, role, status, or distance • Mutual chat that opens only after a request is accepted, with options to block, report, or ghost without notifying • Local meetups to schedule pair coding, code reviews, or technical coffee chats with both sides' RSVPs staying clear in the app • Consent-based interaction where developers maintain full control over their connections Built for local connections, not an endless feed. The app focuses on what developers need when meeting technical peers nearby: clear profiles, stack filters, consent before chat, and meetup scheduling that is easy to act on.
