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 you’d like to request a new feature, feel free to send me an email directly from the app’s home page.

Ship secure code without a security team. Codecanic scans any repository for vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, and supply-chain risk — then opens the pull request that fixes them. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Codecanic requires an auto-renewable Codecanic Pro subscription ($14.99/month, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers) to access its features on iOS and macOS. WHAT IT FINDS • Known CVEs in your dependencies — npm and PyPI, checked against the OSV vulnerability database • Leaked secrets and API keys — pattern + entropy detection, always redacted in reports • Risky code — static analysis for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python (injection, weak crypto, unsafe eval, and more) • Supply-chain threats — typosquatted package names and non-registry dependency sources • Repo hygiene — committed .env files, missing lockfiles, missing CI, loose TypeScript settings WHAT IT FIXES — AUTOMATICALLY Codecanic doesn't stop at a report. One tap opens a real GitHub pull request that: • Bumps vulnerable dependencies to the patched version (with a merge-confidence score) • Removes committed secrets from tracking and adds them to .gitignore • Adds a baseline CI workflow if you have none You review and merge. Your repo, your call — always. WORKS WITH YOUR STACK • Scan public repos from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket by URL • Connect GitHub securely (GitHub App, least-privilege) for private repos and fix PRs • Export reports and SBOMs • Optional: bring your own AI key for AI-assisted repairs — your key stays on your device YOUR CODE IS NEVER STORED Scans run on a shallow temporary clone that is deleted the moment the scan finishes. Reports contain findings, not your source. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Codecanic Pro: $14.99/month, auto-renewing. 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
