Unlike the majority of system-based HTTP proxy capture software, Hodor is a packet capture tool based on the IP layer protocol. Consequently, Hodor is capable of capturing HTTP data traffic that many other capture software cannot, including the data traffic from Flutter apps. Hodor provides many useful features, including: - Packet capturing & rewriting with support for HTTP, TCP, UDP, and WebSocket data protocols. - Capturing and rewriting Flutter app traffic. - Support JavaScript extensions - HTTPS decryption to view decrypted data. - Mapping (i.e., replacing) data in HTTP requests and responses. - HTTP replaying and simulating requests and responses for server debugging without using the client again. - Formatting preview for Protobuf, Form-Data, JSON, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. - Forwarding HTTP requests to other network tools within the local network for data processing (including traffic from Flutter apps). - Domain filtering to only view requests and responses from specific domains. - URL Scheme support for controlling the start and stop of packet capturing with commands. Hodor is an incredibly useful web debugging tool that can help you easily resolve various issues, making your work more efficient and enjoyable. Whether you are a developer or a tester, you can benefit from Hodor. Give it a try now! Automatic Subscription Service Rules 1. If you subscribe to the automatic renewal service through your Apple ID and do not actively cancel the automatic subscription service during the subscription period, Hodor will automatically deduct the next subscription fee from the balance of the Apple ID account linked to the automatic renewal service 24 hours before the current subscription period expires (subject to the actual Apple billing rules). You should pay attention to the balance and payment status of the account. If the renewal fails due to account issues or insufficient balance, you will bear the risk and/or loss by yourself. For your convenience, Apple will notify you of the upcoming deduction before processing the payment. It is important to note that based on the nature of the automatic renewal service, if you do not explicitly cancel the automatic renewal service during the subscription period, Apple will issue a deduction instruction to the relevant parties based on your permission. Generally, any fees deducted based on this instruction will not be refunded. 2. Hodor Pro Subscription Period: 1 year. 3. Hodor reserves the right to adjust service prices or stop providing automatic renewal services. If you do not agree with the adjusted service price, you can cancel the automatic renewal service according to these rules. If you do not cancel the automatic renewal service, the subsequent fees deducted by Apple will be adjusted to the new service fee. 4. The method to cancel the automatic subscription service is as follows: open the Apple iOS device "App Store" -> click on the Apple account profile picture in the upper-right corner -> enter "Account" -> click on "Subscriptions" -> select "Hodor" -> cancel the subscription. 5. Hodor may stop providing you with automatic renewal services according to operational needs. Your Hodor service period will end on the date of the expiry of the current service cycle. * Privacy Policy https://ximlu.github.io/hodor/privacy_en.html * Terms of Service https://ximlu.github.io/hodor/terms_en.html

Give a PHP idea a place to take shape. PHP Editor brings writing, local execution and language practice into one workspace, so you can move from a short snippet to its output and back to the code you want to improve. A practical place to experiment The integrated PHP 8.4 runtime runs code on your device. Open the editor, make a change and tap Run to see PHP Output. Use Edit code to return and continue your experiment. Reported errors are shown with the result, giving you feedback when a statement does not behave as expected. You do not need a separate remote execution service for this local coding workflow. Tools that support the next edit Read your source with PHP syntax highlighting, line numbers and word wrapping. Bracket matching and automatic closing of brackets help when entering expressions and functions. Quick Undo and Redo controls let you revisit a change without retyping it. Find helps locate a name or phrase, while Go to line takes you to a specific position in the file. Start new, or return to an idea Begin a fresh file when you want a clean starting point. Open PHP files from the app's available document storage workflow, save a named script, or choose Save As to preserve a separate copy. When a draft has been stored locally, Continue coding brings it back from Home. A saved file gives an experiment a name and makes it easier to return to deliberate work later. Examples you can change The daily PHP bite opens an editable example related to the Home screen's tip. Try changing the values in a strict comparison, replacing a missing value with null coalescing, or following the choices in a match expression. Other examples cover array transformations, function type declarations, escaping text and reusable functions. Run your variation and inspect the result to connect the syntax with its effect. A second way to practise Use Practice PHP for multiple-choice quizzes across levels. Timed sessions encourage focused review, and the results show how an attempt went. Quiz history gives you access to recorded attempts and their results. You can alternate between answering questions and testing a small program, choosing the kind of practice that suits the time you have. Make the workspace familiar Choose an app theme, including a light or dark appearance, and select from the available interface languages. The editor follows the active appearance. Home keeps Continue coding, the daily example and quiz history within reach, along with a daily visit streak for your practice routine. Designed for small, useful sessions Students can explore language exercises; learners can test an unfamiliar expression; developers can check a compact function or revisit a script. Keep local runs focused: execution time and output limits apply. Code execution is local, while network-dependent services such as advertising and purchases use their own connections. Write an example you understand, change one part and see what happens. Keep useful scripts as files and use quizzes to revisit the concepts you are learning.
