ProbePad
Read full descriptionHide full description
ProbePad is the API client Postman never built for iPhone and iPad โ native, private, and fast enough to ship a production fix from the couch. New in v1.6: ProbePad watches your endpoints while you sleep โ background health checks with failure alerts, status widgets on your Home and Lock Screen, Spotlight search, and one-tap cancellation. ENDPOINT MONITORING (PRO) โข Mark any saved request as watched and ProbePad runs it in the background โข A notification when a watched endpoint starts failing, with the request name and the status it returned โข A cooldown per endpoint, so a flapping service does not alert you over and over โข iOS decides when background work is granted. ProbePad tells you when the last check happened, never when the next one will โข If Background App Refresh is off, the app says so plainly WIDGETS โ HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN โข Last Request โ your most recent run, with its status and when it ran โข Request Status โ a saved request's last status and response time. Also a Lock Screen circular widget โข Endpoint Monitor (PRO) โ a watched endpoint's last result, and when it was checked โข A widget sees a summary only: request name, host, status, timing. Never a header, a body or a token SPOTLIGHT, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS โข Request names and hosts are searchable from the Home Screen โ tap a result to open it โข Indexing is a switch in Settings, and secrets and environment values are never indexed โข "Run Saved Request" and "Send HTTP Request" App Intents for Siri, the Shortcuts app and Focus automations โข The Shortcuts result carries the request, the status and the timing CANCEL A RUNNING REQUEST โข One tap stops an in-flight request and tears the connection down โข The cancelled attempt is written to history, not lost ON CALL, INSIDE THE RESPONSE โข Find in the response body, with a live match count and wrapping next/previous โ even on truncated bodies โข Copy a single header value without selecting text โข Replay a returned Set-Cookie as a request header, in one tap โข History rows are tagged with the environment they ran against, and a cross-environment diff warns you first BUILD & EXECUTE โข GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with full header, query and body control โข Multipart/form-data with file upload โข JSON, raw and form-encoded bodies โข Per-request timeout (1โ300 s) ORGANIZE โข Collections โ group related requests, colour-coded (free) โข Environments and variables โ switch between dev, staging and production (PRO) โข Secrets Vault โ API keys in the iOS Keychain, Face ID or Touch ID (PRO) INSPECT โข Syntax-highlighted JSON tree โข Response history with side-by-side diff (free) โข Status, headers, timing and byte count AUTHENTICATION โข Bearer token, Basic, API key (header or query) โข OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE, and client credentials (PRO) โข Automatic token refresh, Keychain storage โข Provider presets: Google, GitHub, Azure AD, Auth0 โข JWT inspection GRAPHQL & WEBSOCKET (PRO) โข GraphQL editor with schema introspection, variables and named operations โข ws:// and wss:// sessions with text and binary frames, a full transcript and auto-reconnect IMPORT โข cURL โ paste a command and get a request. Free, and staying free โข Postman v2.1 collections, OpenAPI 3.0 and Swagger 2.0 (PRO) PROBEPAD PRO Lifetime is a one-time purchase (US$19.99). Yearly is US$9.99 per year after a seven-day free trial and renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ProbePad at weekly against Veelops's every 2 months. Veelops's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
