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.

About

Ripple Remote

Features
Read full description

GPT and DeepSeek inside the Claude desktop app, and a phone remote that stays connected for hours. ClaudeRipple is a router that lets the Claude app and Claude Code run other models such as GPT, DeepSeek and Gemini. Turn on picker mode and you choose them right in the Claude app's own model menu. Ripple Remote is the phone app that follows those sessions, approves their requests and sends the next instruction. Why Ripple Remote • No 30-minute cutoff: the remote stays connected while your computer is on, so you can follow and approve a job that runs for hours. • Any model you route: sessions running Claude, GPT, DeepSeek or Gemini all work the same from your phone, and you can switch the next turn's model and reasoning effort there too. • Your Claude app sessions: on a Mac, sessions you started in the Claude desktop app's Code tab continue on your phone. • Encrypted alerts: when work finishes or needs approval you get the session name and a summary, and that text is end-to-end encrypted. What you can do from your phone • Sessions grouped by needs input, failed, to review, working and done; folder view and archive • A live timeline of tool calls and replies as they happen • Command output and code diffs • Each subagent's model, instructions and progress • Allow or deny tool requests, approve plans, answer question cards • Attach photos and files, stop work in progress Try it first Tap "Try the demo" on the connect screen to use the real screens with demo data generated inside the app. Nothing leaves your phone. Before you begin • Install and run ClaudeRipple on your computer (macOS, Windows or Linux), then scan the QR code on its dashboard once. • Claude desktop app sessions are currently supported on macOS. • Ripple Remote doesn't run AI models and includes no model subscription. Models follow your computer's ClaudeRipple setup and your own subscriptions or API keys. Privacy • Every message, attachment and notification between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted. Neither the relay nor the push service can read it. • No account, no sign-in, no ads, analytics or tracking. Free. • Unpair in Settings to delete pairing keys and queued messages right away. English and Korean, light and dark. Ripple Remote is an independent app by Ripple House, not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek or Google. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC; other model names are trademarks of their owners.
