Button API

Features
Read full description

Button API turns your iPhone or iPad into a physical-like remote control for web services. It is a smart, interactive button for instant HTTP/HTTPS requests, designed specifically for automation, testing, and integrations. The app is built for developers, system administrators, smart home enthusiasts, and QA engineers. It helps you trigger automation scenarios (IoT, Node-RED, Home Assistant), test webhooks, manage server processes, send notifications, or demonstrate API functionality with a single tap. Key Features: Flexible Request Configuration Full control over your requests: support for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods. Custom headers and request body. Dynamic templates: automatically insert press timestamps or battery level data into the request body. Complete Interface Customization Button builder: adjust text, shape, size, and colors to suit your needs. Custom graphics: set your own images for normal and pressed states. Screen background: choose a solid color, an image, or a live feed from the device's camera. Control & Stability Prevention of accidental triggers: rate limiting and cooldown modes. Security: restrict access to settings with a 6-digit PIN code. Logging & Data Portability Built-in log: keep track of sent requests, server responses, and errors locally. Export data: save history as CSV or TXT files. Quick setup: import and export configurations to quickly replicate your setup across devices. How It Works Setup takes less than a minute: specify your target URL (endpoint), customize the button's appearance, and send your first request. Button API eliminates the need for writing console scripts or using bulky tools when you need a simple solution: one tap, one action, reliable results.

GetHog is an independent, open-source client for PostHog. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by PostHog. The PostHog companion for when you are away from your laptop. Check whether the dashboard is moving, what a session actually did, or whether a flag is on. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Tap "Explore the demo" on the welcome screen. The whole app runs on bundled, hand-written fictional data with no account, no API key, and no network requests. Every screen below is explorable before you connect anything. WHAT IT DOES • Dashboards — browse your saved dashboards and the insights they contain. • Events and people — inspect events with their full property lists, and the people and groups behind them. • Sessions and replay — walk a session timeline and watch web replay in a native, offline player. • Feature flags — review flags and change one only after an explicit confirmation. • The long tail — errors, SQL, web analytics, logs, warehouse, pipelines, experiments, surveys, notebooks, and more. • Widgets — home screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Control Center controls, backed by a cached snapshot. BUILT FOR A NATIVE EXPERIENCE Real iPad split views and multitasking, App Intents and Shortcuts, Handoff, Dynamic Type through the largest accessibility sizes, and VoiceOver support that is tested rather than assumed. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE GetHog has no backend. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising. Your PostHog personal API key is stored in the device Keychain and is sent only to the PostHog host you chose. Nothing passes through anyone else, because there is no one else. Signing out deletes the key and every cache the app has written. Connect to PostHog Cloud US, PostHog Cloud EU, or your own self-hosted deployment. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS GetHog is not a replacement for the PostHog web app, and it does not pretend to be. When it meets an insight type it cannot draw yet, it says so instead of inventing a chart. Rate limits, missing key scopes, and stale caches are explained on screen in plain language. OPEN SOURCE GetHog is MIT licensed and developed in the open at https://github.com/abhitekula/GetHog. Issues and contributions are welcome. You need your own PostHog account and a personal API key to connect to real data.
