About

LocHook

Features
Read full description

LocHook is a background location utility that automatically sends your device's location to a REST endpoint of your choice whenever a significant location change is detected. Configure your endpoint URL, enable tracking, and LocHook handles the rest โ€” capturing coordinates, altitude, speed, accuracy, and reverse-geocoded city, region, and country data, then POSTing it all as a structured JSON payload. Key features: - Background location tracking triggered by significant location changes - Sends location to any HTTP or HTTPS endpoint you configure - Payload includes timestamp, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, accuracy, city, state/province, and country - Add unlimited custom static key/value fields to every payload - Automatic retry queue โ€” failed transmissions are stored and retried until successful - Manual "Send Now" button to force an immediate location capture and transmission - Survives device reboots โ€” tracking resumes automatically if it was enabled Built for developers, home automation enthusiasts, and anyone who needs reliable location webhooks without a proprietary platform.

cURL Send is a fast mobile API client built for developers who want to test requests directly from iPhone. Paste a cURL command from your clipboard, review the method, URL, headers, and body, then send the request in a focused mobile workspace. It is designed for quick API checks, debugging, backend testing, webhook inspection, and working with REST endpoints when you are away from your desktop. Import cURL instantly Paste a cURL command from your clipboard and turn it into an editable request. cURL Send parses the request into clear fields so you can inspect and adjust the method, URL, headers, and body before sending. Test APIs from your iPhone Send HTTP requests and view response status, headers, and body in a clean dark interface. JSON responses are formatted for easier reading, with response search to help you find fields quickly. Save response values Capture supported JSON response fields into a global container. Save IDs, tokens, status values, or other response data under reusable keys. Reuse values in headers Use saved global values in header fields for follow-up requests. This helps with common API workflows like saving a user ID, session value, token, or other response field and reusing it in the next request. Built for mobile API workflows cURL Send is ideal for: - Testing REST APIs - Debugging HTTP requests - Inspecting JSON responses - Running copied cURL commands - Reusing response values in headers - Checking backend endpoints from iPhone - Quick API validation without opening a desktop tool Whether you are debugging a backend service, checking a webhook, validating an endpoint, or testing an API while mobile, cURL Send gives you a simple cURL-first workflow on iPhone.
