Cookey vs PacketCircle

Cookey — Browser Sessions for Your Agents Scan a QR code on your phone, log in on mobile, and your browser session lands encrypted and ready for Playwright and AI agents. Cookey bridges the gap between mobile login and agent automation. When an AI agent or script needs a logged-in browser session, Cookey lets you handle authentication on your phone and securely deliver the result. How it works: 1. Run the Cookey CLI on your computer to generate a QR code. 2. Scan the QR code with this app. 3. Log in to the target website in the built-in browser. 4. Your session is encrypted on-device and delivered as Playwright-compatible JSON — ready for your agent to use. Key features: - End-to-end encrypted: Session data is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves your phone. The relay server never sees plaintext. - Zero registration: No accounts, no sign-ups, no device enrollment. The CLI generates its own key pair on first run. - Built for automation: Outputs Playwright-compatible storageState JSON. Pipe it into any browser automation tool or AI agent. - Self-hostable relay: The relay server is a single Docker image with memory-only storage and auto-expiring sessions. Host your own or use the public instance. - Session refresh: Re-authenticate expiring sessions with push notification reminders — no need to repeat the QR scan flow. - Open source: Every component — CLI, mobile app, and relay server — is open source and auditable. Cookey captures cookies and localStorage only. It does not store passwords, autofill data, or any other sensitive browser state. Note: WebAuthn, Passkeys, and FIDO2 security keys are not supported in the in-app browser due to Apple platform restrictions on WKWebView. Use alternative login methods such as password, SMS, or email link for sites that require these.

PacketCircle turns packet captures into a clear picture of who is talking to whom. Instead of scrolling endless packet lists, you see communication pairs as an interactive circle: endpoints on the rim, conversations as edges, colors by protocol or session quality. Ideal when you need to understand a capture quickly — on site, in a meeting, or reviewing a file someone sent you. What you can do • Open PCAP and PCAPNG captures • Explore Top talkers on a circle, table, or gauges view • Filter by protocol and focus on the conversations that matter • Inspect session health, ports/services, and application hints • Jump into a Wireshark-style decode (packet list, protocol tree, hex) • Follow TCP streams and export a conversation as PCAP Built for analysis, not noise PacketCircle is a native iOS app with a shared engine designed for conversation-centric troubleshooting — DNS, HTTP, TLS, SMB, and more when the payload is visible — without requiring Wireshark on your phone. Open a capture. See the circle. Understand the network. Made with love for the packet community.
