Inspect and debug websites directly on your iPhone and iPad with Tiny Web Inspector. Browse a page and keep your developer tools close at hand. NETWORK Follow page resources, Fetch and XMLHttpRequest activity. Filter requests by resource type, status or host, search captured data, inspect available headers and bodies, and copy requests as cURL. ELEMENTS Browse and search the HTML tree. Use Touch selection to find a visible element, inspect its HTML, and copy its path or source. CONSOLE Read console.log, warnings and errors. Run JavaScript with quick commands and command history to investigate the current page. STORAGE Inspect local storage, session storage and cookies. Search, copy, edit or remove values, and view JSON in a readable format. WEB ENVIRONMENT Try User Agent presets, manage custom headers and inject your own scripts.

On the expanded Duo layout, browse alongside the inspector. Capture availability depends on WebKit and the resource type. Some browser-managed headers, cross-origin resources, binary payloads and navigation response bodies may not be exposed. Large captured bodies and older logs are limited to keep memory usage bounded.
