HeaderX

HeaderX injects custom HTTP request headers into your Safari browsing session โ€” the essential companion for web developers, API testers, and QA engineers. Point HeaderX at your development environment, define your headers once, and flip them on whenever you need them. No proxy setup, no configuration files, no leaving the browser. DEFINE HEADERS AS JSON Describe your headers in a simple JSON editor โ€” paste an entire set at once: {"X-Debug-Mode": "enabled", "Authorization": "Bearer dev-token"} Or use the array format to keep headers saved but individually switched off. TWO VIEWS, ONE TOGGLE Edit as raw JSON or flip to List view, where every header gets its own checkbox. The master toggle in the corner turns everything on or off instantly โ€” your configuration stays saved either way. REUSABLE PROFILES Save named header sets โ€” one per project, environment, or test scenario โ€” and switch between them in two clicks. FEATURES โ€ข One-tap master toggle โ€ข JSON editor and checkbox list views โ€ข Per-header enable/disable โ€ข Named profiles for quick switching โ€ข Settings persist across browser restarts โ€ข Works in Private Browsing (optional) GOOD TO KNOW Standard header names (Authorization, Accept-Language, User-Agent, and other HTTP-spec headers) are applied to all requests through Safari's native rule engine. Custom header names (X-My-Header and similar) are applied to fetch and XHR requests made by web pages โ€” a Safari platform constraint on custom names in network rules. For typical API-debugging workflows, this covers exactly the requests you care about. Headers apply to every site while the toggle is on โ€” remember to switch off when you're done testing, especially with authentication headers. PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. HeaderX collects no data, phones home to no one, and contains no analytics. What you configure is nobody's business but yours.

# Watch and control all your AI agents, from one app. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Antigravity scatter across terminals and machines. Argus brings every session into one view, so you always know what's running, what's waiting on you, and what's done. ## One screen for every agent Every session from every machine in a single list, grouped by host and labeled by agent. Live status shows which are working, which are waiting on input, and which have gone idle, and the sessions that need you stay pinned to the top. ## See exactly what they did Open a session for the full transcript: prompts, replies, thinking, and every tool call. Fold the long parts or expand a single step, and tap any tool call to see the exact command it ran and what it returned, with model and token counts along the way. ## Jump in from anywhere Attach to a session's live terminal, watch it run, and type into it. Answer a permission prompt in place, review the code changes and git diffs it produced, or spawn, interrupt, and kill sessions without reaching for your laptop. ## Never miss a prompt Argus sends a push notification when a session needs your input, so a blocked agent doesn't sit idle while you're away. Notifications arrive even when the app is closed. ## Private and self-hosted Argus runs entirely on your own machines. You pair your phone directly to them over an end to end encrypted connection, so your prompts, code, and output never leave your control. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Antigravity in one list. Start on a single machine or scale to a fleet. _Source_: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/argus _Docs_: https://argus.muniftanjim.dev
