Paste messy JSON and get clean, readable, correctly indented output in one tap. JSONViewer formats, validates, and beautifies any payload โ right on your iPhone, fully offline. Most JSON tools are websites that make you paste sensitive API data into a stranger's server. JSONViewer keeps everything on your device: paste a response, a config file, or a log export, and it pretty-prints with color syntax highlighting instantly. Invalid JSON is flagged with the exact reason so you fix broken payloads fast โ no guessing, no round trips to a browser. WHAT YOU GET - Clean, indented JSON from any pasted or copied payload in one tap - Instant validation that pinpoints exactly why a payload is broken - Minify mode to strip whitespace down to a compact one-liner - An interactive, collapsible tree so you can read deeply nested data at a glance - JSONPath queries that pull the exact value out of a large response - A saved library of your own snippets plus ready-to-use sample payloads PERFECT FOR - Backend and mobile developers debugging API responses on the go - QA engineers checking payloads and config files away from a laptop - Students learning JSON structure with the built-in Learn guide - Anyone who needs to read or clean a JSON blob without opening a website WHY NOT JUST USE A WEB FORMATTER? Online formatters send your JSON to a remote server โ a real problem when the payload holds tokens, user records, or internal data. JSONViewer does all parsing on-device, so your data never leaves your phone and works with no signal at all. PRIVACY Your JSON never leaves the device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking โ everything runs locally, even in airplane mode. FULL ACCESS The Format tab โ paste, validate, beautify, minify, and copy โ is free.

Sandbox Relay
Read full descriptionHide full description
For developers who run Claude Code or Codex in Docker Sandbox, Sandbox Relay is the phone client for driving that agent. It is a companion, not a standalone app: it needs a broker you run, with an agent connected behind it. Kick off a task from the train, check on a long-running job from the couch, or steer the agent while you are away from your desk. Docker Sandbox runs each agent in its own isolated micro VM. A small broker you self-host sits in the middle: you send work from your phone, the broker passes it to the agent, and the streamed reply comes back. Your infrastructure, your agent. The app is just the remote. New to this setup? The app's support page explains how it works and what you need to run it. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Connect to your broker with a URL and a bearer token. Connections use HTTPS, with plain HTTP allowed only for local-network addresses. - See every connected agent at a glance, with live online/offline status. - Send the agent work and watch its reply stream in token by token. Stop a turn mid-stream, or start a fresh thread whenever you want. - When an agent goes offline, its thread stays readable as history. - See per-turn input and output token counts when the broker reports them. - Save reusable prompts as local notes, organised by hierarchical tags like #work/project/feature. Drill down by tag, copy a note straight into a thread, or link a note to the thread it came from. Notes live on your device only; they never touch the broker. WHAT YOU NEED - A broker you run, reachable from your phone (over your local network, or remotely through a tunnel or private network you control). - A coding agent, Claude Code or Codex, running in Docker Sandbox and connected to that broker. PRIVACY Sandbox Relay talks only to the broker you configure. Your access token is stored securely on your device and sent only to that broker, to authenticate you; it never goes to the developer or any third party. Your notes stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. No third-party analytics, no account to create. Note that the app streams whatever your agent outputs, verbatim.
