Reqeast is a native API client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Built with SwiftUI and Rust. Test HTTP, call gRPC, open TCP/TLS, send UDP, connect WebSocket, and subscribe to SSE. Six protocols in one app. No Electron. No cloud accounts. No sign-up. Launches instantly. Your data stays on your devices. Synced through iCloud. Nothing else. HTTP Request builder with GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Headers, query params, and body as JSON, form data, URL encoded, text, or binary. Eight auth types: Bearer Token, Basic Auth, API Key, JWT Bearer, Hawk, AWS Signature V4, Akamai EdgeGrid, and more coming. Responses with syntax highlighting, JSON tree, images, and hex. Cookies built in. HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. gRPC Unary and streaming RPCs. Server reflection, local proto library with multi-file bundles, hex message mode. Proto bundles sync over iCloud. WebSocket Persistent bidirectional real-time connections. Custom headers, subprotocol, auto-ping, and TLS with insecure mode for development. Server-Sent Events Subscribe to SSE endpoints and watch event streams in real time. Event type and ID with full conversation history. TCP and TLS Raw TCP connections or TLS sessions. Persistent and one-shot modes. UTF-8, hex, base64, configurable line endings. Message history per session. UDP Send and receive datagrams with bind port and timeout. Same encoding options as TCP. Environments Variables per project with {{variable}} syntax. URLs, headers, body, auth. Secrets in Keychain. Switch instantly. Code Snippets Request code in 10 languages: cURL, HTTP raw, Python, Node.js, JavaScript Fetch, Java, Go, C#, Swift, and Rust. Import Paste cURL, HTTPie, or wget into requests. Import API specs: OpenAPI, Postman, Insomnia, Bruno, HAR, AsyncAPI, and GraphQL SDL from paste, file, URL, multi-file bundle, or Git. Link a project to a remote spec, review changes, and apply updates without losing local edits. On-device Apple Intelligence fallback for unrecognized formats. Project Organization Group requests into projects with icons and colors. Project and request folders. History with full snapshot restore. iCloud Sync Projects, requests, and environments sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud. Credentials through Keychain. Apple Shortcuts Six actions for HTTP, gRPC, TCP, UDP, WebSocket, and SSE. Automate from Shortcuts, Siri, or other tools.

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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Codecanic at every 5 days against Reqeast's every 4 months. Codecanic also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
