LadderTouch is an app to learn the basics of ladder logic, which is a graphical programming language. This app has three functions. You can learn about that mechanism by executing some of the prepared samples. You can check your understanding with questions. In addition, you can create and execute your own ladder. Ladder functions of the timer, counter, and logical inverse are provided. The user interface is designed to be easy to operate. The lines are written by tracing the screen. You can set an element by tapping a cell at which you want to add it. ---------------ELEMENTS--------------- Input(yellow) Up to 5 elements. You can control the input signal by tapping the buttons at the bottom of the display. Virtual output(red) Up to 5 elements. Internal memory(gray) Up to 20 elements. Virtual output(red) and internal memory(gray) are the same for logical behavior. But the difference is in usage. The virtual output is the last element in the ladder logic chain. The Internal memory is for the processing element of the ladder logic chain. These are an imitation of the actual ladder logic with the output devices. Timer(blue) Up to 5 elements. The timer can be set from 0.1 seconds to 10.0 seconds. The setting unit is 0.1 second. The timer works only 'on delay'. This app does not include 'off delay'. On Delay. ---++++++++++ source -------++++++ destination Off Delay. +++---------- source ++++++++----- destination + ON - OFF Time flows from left to right Counter(green) Up to 5 elements. You can set from 1 to 50. There is no counter reset element in this app. Many other ladder logic software has it. The way to reset the counter is to stop running the ladder. All elements can be inverse in the source area. However, timers and counters cannot do it in the destination area. It is difficult to understand the inverse logic of a timer and counter in the destination area. ---------------EDIT--------------- You can edit ladders only with the paid version. How to write elements or lines Select the pencil icon. To add an element: Tap where you want to set the element and select the element. To draw a line: Draw where you want to write a line. How to delete elements or lines Select the eraser icon. Tap where you want to delete the element. How to scroll Select the scroll icon, then you can scroll. How to remove useless spaces Select the order icon. Tap order icon to remove useless spaces. Line color Green with complete ladder logic. Red with something wrong. --------------Other-------------- There is no function that connects to outer devices.
Proxygen
This tool allows developers to intercept, inspect, and modify HTTP traffic from their iOS devices on a Mac. It offers advanced features like JavaScript scripting for traffic manipulation and a syntax-aware editor for debugging API endpoints.
- Send iOS device traffic to Mac
- Modify proxied traffic with JavaScript
- Match and replace headers/body data
- Syntax highlighting HTTP editor
- WebSocket and SSE message capture
- Local VPN extension for proxying

Proxygen is the best HTTP proxy tool for testing apps and debugging remote API endpoints right on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. And it’s built to delight you while doing it. Features • Send iOS device traffic to remote Mac • Write JavaScript to modify proxied traffic • Store state in variables for use in Editor • Match and replace headers and body data • Test API endpoints with assertions • Transform data with custom recipes • Syntax highlighting HTTP message editor • Message history with powerful filtering • WebSocket and SSE message capture • Store all data in documents SEND TO MAC Easily capture HTTP messages from an iPhone or iPad on your Mac. Traffic is mirrored to the paired Mac over local network even when the iOS app is not active. The Mac app can intercept and edit data of requests and responses before they are forwarded. No more futzing around with Wi-Fi proxy settings and trusted certificates. SCRIPTING Write JavaScript code that modifies proxied traffic. Scripts have access to requests and responses, letting you rewrite headers, URLs and body content, inject data, or implement conditional logic that goes beyond what static rules can express. SYNTAX AWARE EDITOR Edit requests from the message history or create new to any target. All previously sent requests are kept in the project file so you can return to your work later. The editor uses Tree-sitter for fast language parsing and syntax highlighting. It handles decoding of HTTP content automatically, letting you focus on testing the remote API. SERVER GRADE PERFORMANCE The magic lies in a little custom HTTP proxy that the iOS app runs in a local VPN extension. This proxy was developed using SwiftNIO, a framework for bizarrely fast asynchronous network applications. The proxy can perform TLS Manipulator in the Middle (MitM) to see inside HTTPS connections and apply custom logic to each message. To put it bluntly, you’ve probably never seen a HTTP proxy this fast before. And you likely won’t notice that your web browsing is even proxied at all. PRIVACY Proxygen contains no third party frameworks for crash reporting or analytics. Note that Proxygen is a TLS MitM proxy, which means that it sees HTTPS network traffic in plain text. This data is transferred from the proxy to the Proxygen app and stored as part of the project document. Make sure you handle the documents accordingly, as they may contain sensitive data such as session tokens and login credentials.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Proxygen at Free against LadderTouch's $3.99. Proxygen also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 74%). LadderTouch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Proxygen is free to download; LadderTouch costs $3.99 up front. Proxygen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. LadderTouch asks for nothing beyond the download.
LadderTouch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LadderTouch has 91 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of LadderTouch's written reviews are positive against 83% of Proxygen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LadderTouch ships an update every 2 months, Proxygen every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
