Your APIs don't stop needing testing when you step away from your desk. API Canvas brings a full-featured, native testing experience to iPhone and iPad—built from the ground up on Apple's Liquid Glass design language, not bolted onto a web wrapper. With API Canvas in your pocket, you have access to: ▶ Send Requests: Make HTTP calls using GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE methods. ▶ Inspect Responses: Response bodies and headers are made easy to read and understand. Syntax highlighting makes HTML and JSON responses easy to read, even in dark mode. ▶ Stars & Collections: Mark your requests as starred or add them to a collection of your choice to make them easy to find. ▶ Import Requests: Bring in your request collection from Postman so you're not starting from zero. ▶ Request History: Your most recent requests can be found with the touch of a button. Re-run them at any time. Go Pro to unlock: ▶ Customize Collections: Bring your collections list to life by coloring each collection and adding an icon that suits your personality. ▶ Environment Variables: No need to update the auth token in every saved request when it changes. Write 'Bearer {{token}}' once, and update it across every request. ▶ Export Requests: Package up your API requests into a tidy little JSON file and send it over to Postman or keep it as a backup just in case. You worked hard to build your web service. Your APIs deserve a testing tool that works just as hard. ---- Privacy Policy: https://canadiancat.io/api-canvas/privacy Terms & Conditions: https://canadiancat.io/api-canvas/terms

AgentsDock is the control surface for the AI agents you already run. AgentsDock talks to a small open-source server (AgentsServer) that you deploy yourself in one command. Every chat, job, and file stays on your infrastructure — and can be reached from anywhere. SYNCED ACROSS EVERY DEVICE Start a job on your Mac, check it from your iPhone or iPad, or drive it from Linux — every chat stays in sync in real time, wherever you are. RICH MEDIA, RIGHT IN THE CHAT Videos, simulation output, and image grids land directly in the conversation as your agent produces them. ALL YOUR CHATS, ORGANIZED Group work by project or folder, switch between Claude and Codex per chat, and keep every thread in one place instead of scattered across terminal tabs. FULLY SELF-HOSTED Run everything on your own Mac, Linux box, or cluster. Your code, credentials, and outputs never leave infrastructure you control. FULL TERMINAL, EVEN ON YOUR PHONE Each chat owns a persistent terminal session on your server — drop into a real shell from your phone whenever you need to. SCHEDULE JOBS AHEAD OF TIME Queue a run to fire now, after an interval, or on a repeating loop — kick off long research jobs without babysitting them. HAND OFF BETWEEN AGENTS Digest mode lets one chat summarize its work and send it straight into another, so long chains of work don't need manual copy-pasting. OPEN SOURCE SERVER AgentsServer is MIT-licensed and fully open source — read the code, fork it, and self-host it for as long as you like. The client is not open source yet. Requires a server you control running the AgentsServer installer, with Claude Code and/or Codex CLI already authenticated. AgentsDock does not include AI models or API access itself.
