URL Helper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Entering URLs isn't really fun. Most of the time only the domain name varies while the rest consists of standard parts with a lot of special characters which are error prone to enter. This application makes it easy and fast to enter even complex URLs correctly, especially for non HTTP protocols. It has separate fields for the protocol, subdomain, domain, top level domain, port, path and fragment part (#) of a URL.

When switching between mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) or various corporate configurations, often times you need to add or remove a provisioning profile on your iOS device. Since this can require internet access and proxies or Wi-Fi availability may impede this, having an offline cache of available configurations is essential. The “.mobileconfig Loader” app lets you cache these files on your phone and install them whenever you need to, even without an internet connection or in Airplane Mode.
