PocketHook vs SysScope

Your iPhone, wired to anything you build. PocketHook is the native chat that connects your Apple devices to your own HTTPS server — your webhook, your n8n workflow, your Home Assistant, your own script. You type, your server answers, and iOS Shortcuts run on cue. No account. No tracking. No middleman between you and your own data. Send a message, watch your server reply with Markdown, images, links, even a Shortcut to trigger automatically. Chain steps. Speak instead of typing. Schedule background checks that poke your server and notify you when something changes. It all happens on your infrastructure, through your credentials, stored only in the Apple Keychain. PocketHook is a client. It ships with no backend of its own — you bring the server, and your data stays where it belongs. Features: - Connect to any HTTPS server you control - Trigger iOS Shortcuts and Siri from server responses, with multi-step chains - Six built-in App Intents for Siri and user-built Shortcuts: send a message and wait for reply, silent send without chat history, add a local message, and three helpers to extract fields (msg, data, shortcut name) from server responses - Rich chat: Markdown, HTML, images, interactive buttons - Voice dictation in 39 languages via the iOS Speech framework - Background polling with notifications - Offline queue with automatic retry - Optional compatibility mode for servers using a chat-style JSON format - Zero tracking, zero third-party SDKs - Credentials stored in Apple Keychain only Built for developers, tinkerers, automators, and anyone who wants their iPhone to talk to the things they actually run. If you can deploy an HTTPS endpoint, PocketHook plugs straight into it. More info: https://pockethook.app

SysScope is your iPhone's complete diagnostic dashboard — real-time vitals, powerful network tools, motion sensors, and home screen widgets in one beautifully designed app. OVERVIEW See your device name, model, hardware identifier, iOS version, and build number. Monitor CPU load across every core with a live per-core breakdown and up to 2 hours of CPU history. Check uptime, timezone, language, locale, orientation, and IPv6 address. POWER Track battery level with animated gauges, charging state, and low power mode. Get live discharge and charge rate estimates with predicted time-to-empty and time-to-full. Monitor thermal state from Normal to Critical, and view screen brightness and refresh rate in real time. MEMORY See your app's RAM usage alongside total system RAM, with a full memory breakdown — wired, active, inactive, compressed, and free — shown as a color-coded bar. Storage is covered too: total, used, and free space at a glance. NETWORK TOOLS A complete toolkit for network analysis: • Live WiFi details — SSID, BSSID, signal strength • Cellular carrier and radio technology (4G/5G) • Internal and external IP, subnet mask, and gateway • Download and upload speed tests • Ping latency measurement • DNS lookup and Whois query • Custom ping to any host • Visual traceroute • Port scanner with 22 common service labels • LAN device browser • Wake-on-LAN sender All results are saved to a scrollable network history log. SENSORS Live motion data — gravity, user acceleration, rotation rate, magnetometer readings, barometric pressure, and relative altitude. Track pitch, roll, and compass heading in real time. Monitor microphone input level and scan for nearby Bluetooth devices with signal strength ratings. TOOLS Generate audio tones at any frequency for speaker or hearing tests. Track GPS coordinates with altitude, speed, course, and accuracy. WIDGETS Add a home screen widget to surface your key stats without ever opening the app. ALERTS Set custom thresholds for battery level and storage. Enable thermal state alerts. DeviStats notifies you when your device needs attention. EXPORT Share a full device stats snapshot as plain text — useful for support tickets, diagnostics, or device reports. All metrics refresh every second. Battery, CPU, and RAM history is preserved for up to 2 hours and persists across sessions. Supports dark, light, and system theme.
