ApiCatcher vs HeaderX

ApiCatcher is a user-friendly mobile HTTP/HTTPS/WS/WSS packet capture and debugging tool. ApiCatcher also offers macOS and Windows versions (ApiCatcher Desktop), and the ApiCatcher can sync captured traffic to ApiCatcher Desktop in real time. [Key Features] • Traffic Capture: Capture HTTP, HTTPS, WS, and WSS traffic (WS: WebSocket; WSS: WebSocket over TLS). • Data Manipulation: Copy, export, encrypt, and decrypt Query Params, Headers, and Bodies. • Host Filtering: Configure blacklists and whitelists to filter captured hosts. • Request Replay: Modify and resend requests. • Combo Replay: Schedule and execute multiple requests sequentially based on dependencies, with support for dynamic parameter injection. • Scheduled Replay: Automate and trigger request replays at set intervals. • Auto-Generated API Docs: Automatically generate API documentation and export directly to Postman or Apifox. • Rewrite Rules: Mock responses, redirect requests, modify requests/responses, or drop requests/responses. • Scripting Engine: Extend capabilities with script plugins to flexibly modify requests and responses on the fly. • History Export: Batch export captured traffic as HAR files. • API Scanner: Run rule-based vulnerability/error detection and statistics on captured traffic, with support for custom scanning rules. • Media Export: Batch export images and videos, with automatic merging for segmented download requests. • Real-Time Sync: Stream captured HTTP/HTTPS traffic instantly to ApiCatcher Desktop for advanced analysis and debugging. It also supports syncing to Burp Suite, which requires installing the plugin provided by ApiCatcher on Burp Suite. • DNS mapping/spoofing: Bypass DNS resolution by sending requests for specified domain names to a designated IP address, achieving an effect similar to editing the hosts file on a computer. • Support decoding request/response bodies encoded with the Protobuf protocol, such as gRPC requests. If a .desc descriptor file is provided, field names can also be decoded. [Personalization Settings] • Configurable code highlighting styles with multiple built-in themes, supporting JSON/XML/HTML/JS. • AI assistant mode available: directly capture and analyze packets through AI dialogue. [How It Works] ApiCatcher establishes a local VPN connection on your device to route all network traffic through a local Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) service. As long as the VPN is active, ApiCatcher can capture any HTTP/HTTPS/WS/WSS traffic passing through Wi-Fi or cellular data. [Data Privacy & Security] ApiCatcher's root certificate is a self-signed certificate generated entirely on your own device. All captured HTTP/HTTPS/WS/WSS data is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded to any remote servers. [Description of automatic subscription service] 1.Subscription service: a) Pro Monthly (1 month) b) Pro Yearly (12 months) c) Ultimate Monthly (1 month) d) Ultimate Yearly (12 months) 2.Payment: After the user confirms the purchase and makes payment, it will be credited to the iTunes account 3.Automatic renewal: Apple iTunes account will be charged within 24 hours before the expiration date, and the subscription period will be extended by one subscription period after the successful deduction 4.Close the service: You can close the service by going to "Settings" on your iPhone, entering "iTunes Store and App Store", clicking on "Apple ID", selecting "View Apple ID", entering the "Account Settings" page, clicking on "Subscriptions", and managing automatic subscription services. If you need to cancel, you can close it 24 hours before the end of each billing cycle, and no further charges will be deducted within 24 hours before the expiration date 5.Service Agreement: https://apicatcher.net/en/terms-of-service 6.Privacy Agreement: https://apicatcher.net/en/privacy-policy

HeaderX injects custom HTTP request headers into your Safari browsing session — the essential companion for web developers, API testers, and QA engineers. Point HeaderX at your development environment, define your headers once, and flip them on whenever you need them. No proxy setup, no configuration files, no leaving the browser. DEFINE HEADERS AS JSON Describe your headers in a simple JSON editor — paste an entire set at once: {"X-Debug-Mode": "enabled", "Authorization": "Bearer dev-token"} Or use the array format to keep headers saved but individually switched off. TWO VIEWS, ONE TOGGLE Edit as raw JSON or flip to List view, where every header gets its own checkbox. The master toggle in the corner turns everything on or off instantly — your configuration stays saved either way. REUSABLE PROFILES Save named header sets — one per project, environment, or test scenario — and switch between them in two clicks. FEATURES • One-tap master toggle • JSON editor and checkbox list views • Per-header enable/disable • Named profiles for quick switching • Settings persist across browser restarts • Works in Private Browsing (optional) GOOD TO KNOW Standard header names (Authorization, Accept-Language, User-Agent, and other HTTP-spec headers) are applied to all requests through Safari's native rule engine. Custom header names (X-My-Header and similar) are applied to fetch and XHR requests made by web pages — a Safari platform constraint on custom names in network rules. For typical API-debugging workflows, this covers exactly the requests you care about. Headers apply to every site while the toggle is on — remember to switch off when you're done testing, especially with authentication headers. PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. HeaderX collects no data, phones home to no one, and contains no analytics. What you configure is nobody's business but yours.
