About

Developer

Developer Tools helps you test servers, API calls, clients, and more. For each GET/POST request, it displays the JSON response in a user-friendly viewer. The JSON viewer supports all common data types, including lists, dictionaries, integers, doubles, and strings. It also shows the path to each element, making it easier to implement paths programmatically. The app also allows you to host an HTTP server directly on your phone and provides the IP address for connection. This is especially useful when testing data sent to a server or when getting started with server integration. Additionally, the app lets you generate and save QR codes. If any issues arise, or if youโ€™d like to request a new feature, feel free to send me an email directly from the appโ€™s home page.

About

Agent Tick

Features
Read full description

Agent Tick is a least-permission Request routing layer for coding agents. Use the Agent Tick app when your local coding agent needs a bounded human response while you are away from your desk: - Steering lets you choose from bounded options the agent provided. - Sanctions let you approve or deny one specific risky action before it happens. - Status Updates show what the agent is doing and it's full reply at the end of a turn. Agent Tick is not a remote shell. The app cannot execute arbitrary commands on your machine, and approved actions still run in your local agent environment. The service is source-available and self-hostable. You can inspect the code and run your own Agent Tick server, or use the hosted service when you want routing, push notifications, updates, and uptime handled for you.
