PostX vs Expose HTTP Server

PostX is a powerful yet simple API client for iPhone and iPad for working with REST APIs, HTTP APIs, and even occasional SOAP APIs. Use this REST API client and HTTP API client to quickly build requests, inspect responses, and iterate on your backend without needing a desktop tool. Features of PostX • HTTP/HTTPS methods
Send requests with GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and more so you can cover most modern REST and HTTP APIs in one API client. • Custom parameters
Add query parameters with key, value, and descriptions to keep complex endpoints organized and reusable in your API-client testing workflow. • Authorization
Use Basic, Bearer/JWT, and OAuth-style authentication to connect securely to protected APIs directly from this REST API client for iOS. • Headers
Add custom headers, with common ones like Content-Type and User-Agent ready for quick setup when using this HTTP API client on iPhone and iPad. • Body formats
Build request bodies in raw, binary, GraphQL, form-data, and x-www-form-urlencoded formats to handle most real-world REST and HTTP API scenarios. • Scripts
Insert pre-request and post-response scripts to handle tokens, variables, and simple checks without leaving your API client. • Response viewer
View status codes, headers, and prettified JSON to understand and debug API behavior faster during API-client testing. • History
Automatically save requests and responses so you can rerun, tweak, and reuse them whenever you need inside your API client for iOS. • Workspaces
Create workspaces to organize APIs by project, service, or environment so you can keep related requests grouped and easy to access. Its a great alternative to Postman PostX is an all-in-one REST API client and HTTP API client for iPhone and iPad that brings your desktop API workflow to iOS.

Expose turns your iPhone or iPad into a local HTTP/API server for the same Wi-Fi network. Use it as a file server, WebDAV server, static site host, and mock API workbench: computers, test devices, browsers, scripts, TVs, and dev boards can open your local URL or scan a QR code without installing another app. Use Expose for: - Wi-Fi file sharing: send photos, videos, documents, and folders to Mac, Windows, Linux, TV boxes, NAS workflows, and nearby devices - Local WebDAV: browse folders from Finder, Files, rclone, Cyberduck, and compatible clients; enable uploads or WebDAV write only when you choose - Mock API testing: create JSON, HTML, redirects, status codes, headers, latency, and conditional responses; match query, path, header, or request body values, inspect captured payloads, and replay requests - Dynamic response templates: insert request values, UUIDs, timestamps, and random data, then verify output with a live preview and sample inputs - Static site preview: serve a folder as a local website with index.html and SPA fallback - Automation: use Shortcuts or Siri to start, stop, or copy the running server URL - Session upkeep: bulk-select routes, sources, and logs to clear them fast; broken-source warnings flag missing files or photos; guided Local Network permission and actionable recovery when a start fails; photo sources have thumbnail previews, and past logs remain accessible while the server is running Expose stays local-first. It does not require a cloud account, does not upload your files, photos, routes, or logs to our servers, and does not publish your device to the public internet. You choose what to share and control access with token, Basic/Bearer auth, Host/CORS/IP allowlists, and HTTPS. Because iOS limits background execution, Expose is designed for user-started foreground local sessions. Keep Screen Awake and short background grace improve hands-on testing, but Expose is not a 24/7 background hosting platform.
