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.

WHY QUACK • Talk it out: type or speak your problem and walk through it line by line. • Voice mode: explain bugs hands-free while you keep your hands on the keyboard. • Private by design: your words are processed on your device — nothing is stored or sent to a server. • No account, no sign-up: open the app and start debugging in seconds. • Works offline: think on a plane, on the train, anywhere. Free to use, with an optional one-time purchase to remove ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hodor at none against Quack's shown. Hodor also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). Quack's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Hodor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Quack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hodor holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hodor has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hodor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hodor ships an update monthly, Quack every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
