ProbePad

ProbePad is the API client Postman never built for iPhone and iPad β€” native, private, and fast enough to ship a production fix from the couch. New in v1.6: ProbePad watches your endpoints while you sleep β€” background health checks with failure alerts, status widgets on your Home and Lock Screen, Spotlight search, and one-tap cancellation. ENDPOINT MONITORING (PRO) β€’ Mark any saved request as watched and ProbePad runs it in the background β€’ A notification when a watched endpoint starts failing, with the request name and the status it returned β€’ A cooldown per endpoint, so a flapping service does not alert you over and over β€’ iOS decides when background work is granted. ProbePad tells you when the last check happened, never when the next one will β€’ If Background App Refresh is off, the app says so plainly WIDGETS β€” HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN β€’ Last Request β€” your most recent run, with its status and when it ran β€’ Request Status β€” a saved request's last status and response time. Also a Lock Screen circular widget β€’ Endpoint Monitor (PRO) β€” a watched endpoint's last result, and when it was checked β€’ A widget sees a summary only: request name, host, status, timing. Never a header, a body or a token SPOTLIGHT, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS β€’ Request names and hosts are searchable from the Home Screen β€” tap a result to open it β€’ Indexing is a switch in Settings, and secrets and environment values are never indexed β€’ "Run Saved Request" and "Send HTTP Request" App Intents for Siri, the Shortcuts app and Focus automations β€’ The Shortcuts result carries the request, the status and the timing CANCEL A RUNNING REQUEST β€’ One tap stops an in-flight request and tears the connection down β€’ The cancelled attempt is written to history, not lost ON CALL, INSIDE THE RESPONSE β€’ Find in the response body, with a live match count and wrapping next/previous β€” even on truncated bodies β€’ Copy a single header value without selecting text β€’ Replay a returned Set-Cookie as a request header, in one tap β€’ History rows are tagged with the environment they ran against, and a cross-environment diff warns you first BUILD & EXECUTE β€’ GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with full header, query and body control β€’ Multipart/form-data with file upload β€’ JSON, raw and form-encoded bodies β€’ Per-request timeout (1–300 s) ORGANIZE β€’ Collections β€” group related requests, colour-coded (free) β€’ Environments and variables β€” switch between dev, staging and production (PRO) β€’ Secrets Vault β€” API keys in the iOS Keychain, Face ID or Touch ID (PRO) INSPECT β€’ Syntax-highlighted JSON tree β€’ Response history with side-by-side diff (free) β€’ Status, headers, timing and byte count AUTHENTICATION β€’ Bearer token, Basic, API key (header or query) β€’ OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE, and client credentials (PRO) β€’ Automatic token refresh, Keychain storage β€’ Provider presets: Google, GitHub, Azure AD, Auth0 β€’ JWT inspection GRAPHQL & WEBSOCKET (PRO) β€’ GraphQL editor with schema introspection, variables and named operations β€’ ws:// and wss:// sessions with text and binary frames, a full transcript and auto-reconnect IMPORT β€’ cURL β€” paste a command and get a request. Free, and staying free β€’ 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.
