Expose turns your iPhone or iPad into a local HTTP/API server for the same Wi-Fi network. Use it as a file server, WebDAV server, static site host, and mock API workbench: computers, test devices, browsers, scripts, TVs, and dev boards can open your local URL or scan a QR code without installing another app. Use Expose for: - Wi-Fi file sharing: send photos, videos, documents, and folders to Mac, Windows, Linux, TV boxes, NAS workflows, and nearby devices - Local WebDAV: browse folders from Finder, Files, rclone, Cyberduck, and compatible clients; enable uploads or WebDAV write only when you choose - Mock API testing: create JSON, HTML, redirects, status codes, headers, latency, and conditional responses; match query, path, header, or request body values, inspect captured payloads, and replay requests - Dynamic response templates: insert request values, UUIDs, timestamps, and random data, then verify output with a live preview and sample inputs - Static site preview: serve a folder as a local website with index.html and SPA fallback - Automation: use Shortcuts or Siri to start, stop, or copy the running server URL - Session upkeep: bulk-select routes, sources, and logs to clear them fast; broken-source warnings flag missing files or photos; guided Local Network permission and actionable recovery when a start fails; photo sources have thumbnail previews, and past logs remain accessible while the server is running Expose stays local-first. It does not require a cloud account, does not upload your files, photos, routes, or logs to our servers, and does not publish your device to the public internet. You choose what to share and control access with token, Basic/Bearer auth, Host/CORS/IP allowlists, and HTTPS. Because iOS limits background execution, Expose is designed for user-started foreground local sessions. Keep Screen Awake and short background grace improve hands-on testing, but Expose is not a 24/7 background hosting platform.

About

Schema Studio

Read full description

Build tables, see their relationships, and export DDL and documentation. Schema Studio brings database design to iPhone and iPad. • Copy an existing table as the starting point for a new one. Fields, constraints, and indexes carry over; edit the name before saving. • Sort your table list by creation order, table name, or display name, with ascending and descending options. • Set data types, required fields, primary keys, uniqueness, and automatic numbering. • Design composite indexes with per-column sort directions. • Create relationships and inspect an interactive ER diagram. • Review generated SQL in a syntax-highlighted preview. • Save or share SQL plus Excel, PDF, Markdown, and HTML documentation. Generate for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM Db2. Choose the interface and documentation languages independently from 15 supported languages. No account, ads, tracking, or cloud service is required. Designs stay on your device unless you explicitly save or share exported files. Table copies do not include relationships. Schema Studio is a design and DDL generation tool; it does not connect to database servers or execute SQL.

On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
