Capture Flutter traffic. Test APIs. Debug with AI. Hodor brings packet capture, API testing, and developer utilities to your iPhone and iPad. IP-layer capture can inspect traffic that does not follow system HTTP proxy settings, including traffic from Flutter apps. CAPTURE AND DEBUG • Capture and rewrite HTTP(S), WebSocket, TCP, and UDP traffic. • Inspect HTTPS requests and responses after configuring certificate trust. • Replace HTTP request and response data with Mapping, simulate responses with Mock, and replay requests without repeating actions in the original app. • Extend processing with JavaScript, filter by domain, export HAR, and forward HTTP traffic to other tools on your local network. • Preview Protobuf, Form-Data, JSON, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Start or stop the capture service with URL Scheme commands. MULTI-PROTOCOL API TESTING • Send HTTP(S), WebSocket, TCP, UDP, gRPC, and MQTT requests. • Organize requests into groups; manage environments, variables, authentication, headers, and bodies. Import and export cURL. • Combine pre- and post-request scripts, value extraction, and assertions for workflows such as signing in, reusing a token, and checking responses. AI TESTING THROUGH MCP Connect a compatible AI client to Hodor's MCP service. Give it a testing goal and let it inspect captured traffic, create and edit requests, send them, analyze responses, and adjust and retest in a multi-step workflow. MCP requires setup and an access token; Hodor does not include an AI model. Data read by the client may be sent to its configured model service. Script execution must be explicitly enabled. EVERYDAY DEVELOPER TOOLS URL, Base64, and Unicode encoding tools; URL parsing; JSON formatting; AES encryption and decryption; MD5 and SHA/HMAC hashing; JWT inspection; timestamp conversion; certificate hashes; regular expressions; and QR code generation—all in the app. Use Hodor only with traffic and systems you are authorized to test. HTTPS decryption depends on certificate configuration and app security policies. iOS background limits may interrupt MCP sessions. SUBSCRIPTIONS Some features require a paid plan. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available; features, device coverage, and prices are shown on the purchase screen. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; renewal is charged within the final 24 hours. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

Read full description

The LoRaSniffer App is the user-interface for the LoRaSniffer Device. The combination of both, the device and the app, is a tool for technicians and hobbyist allowing to use LoRa radio communications for testing and network maintenance. The LoRaSniffer Device is a LoRa radio module that can use all possible features the LoRa standard offers. This app is its convenient user-interface. It connects via BLE to the device to allow access to all its setup-parameters, receive communications from other LoRa nodes and send data via LoRa. Using 2 coupled LoRaSniffer devices, it can provide valuable information about network quality in a real-world scenario. The app provides a logging window with features for: formatting of received communications, additional time-stamp and the GPS location where each message was received. Each received message is tagged with "Quality of Signal" information as CRC, SNR, RSSI and carrier-frequency offset. The app allows as well to save the logged data as a visual document in HTML or as JSON protocol file. Messages can be sent as ASCII-text or as binary data. Tools allow to scan for channel activity, calculate transmission times for specific payloads or, if used with 2 devices, allow to gain real-time information to optimize LoRa networks in the field. More, the app can be used as well to update the firmware of the LoRaSniffer device.
