About

Custom Headers For Safari

Features
Read full description

Custom Headers adds your own HTTP request headers to Safari, site by site. Reach a dashboard behind an auth proxy, test an API with a bearer token, or pass a custom header to a staging server, without leaving Safari. HOW IT WORKS • Open a site in Safari, tap the Custom Headers extension, and register the site. • Add header names and values in the app. Turn each header, or the whole site, on and off. • Safari attaches the enabled headers only to requests sent to that site. BUILT FOR TOKENS • Header values are stored in the Keychain, never in plain text. • Helpers build Authorization: Bearer {token} and Basic {username:password} values for you. • Presets for common setups, plus a history of your last 10 header sets. BOOKMARKS Save header names you use often and pick them when you edit a site. SYNC Sites and bookmarks sync across your devices with iCloud. Header values sync only through iCloud Keychain. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 5 sites and 5 bookmarks. Pro: up to 100 sites and unlimited bookmarks. Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The step-by-step guide in the app shows how to turn on the extension and allow it in Safari. Pro Yearly renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
