ProbePad - API Client

Native API client. No cloud.

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

v1.6: your phone watches your endpoints — background health checks, failure alerts, status widgets. Native API client, 100% on-device. No accounts, no cloud. ProbePad is the API client Postman never built for iPhone and iPad — native, private, and fast enough to ship a production fix from the couch. New in v1.6: ProbePad watches your endpoints while you sleep — background health checks with failure alerts, status widgets on your Home and Lock Screen, Spotlight search, and one-tap cancellation. ENDPOINT MONITORING (PRO) • Mark any saved request as watched and ProbePad runs it in the background • A notification when a watched endpoint starts failing, with the request name and the status it returned • A cooldown per endpoint, so a flapping service does not alert you over and over • iOS decides when background work is granted. ProbePad tells you when the last check happened, never when the next one will • If Background App Refresh is off, the app says so plainly WIDGETS — HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN • Last Request — your most recent run, with its status and when it ran • Request Status — a saved request's last status and response time. Also a Lock Screen circular widget • Endpoint Monitor (PRO) — a watched endpoint's last result, and when it was checked • A widget sees a summary only: request name, host, status, timing. Never a header, a body or a token SPOTLIGHT, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS • Request names and hosts are searchable from the Home Screen — tap a result to open it • Indexing is a switch in Settings, and secrets and environment values are never indexed • "Run Saved Request" and "Send HTTP Request" App Intents for Siri, the Shortcuts app and Focus automations • The Shortcuts result carries the request, the status and the timing CANCEL A RUNNING REQUEST • One tap stops an in-flight request and tears the connection down • The cancelled attempt is written to history, not lost ON CALL, INSIDE THE RESPONSE • Find in the response body, with a live match count and wrapping next/previous — even on truncated bodies • Copy a single header value without selecting text • Replay a returned Set-Cookie as a request header, in one tap • History rows are tagged with the environment they ran against, and a cross-environment diff warns you first BUILD & EXECUTE • GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with full header, query and body control • Multipart/form-data with file upload • JSON, raw and form-encoded bodies • Per-request timeout (1–300 s) ORGANIZE • Collections — group related requests, colour-coded (free) • Environments and variables — switch between dev, staging and production (PRO) • Secrets Vault — API keys in the iOS Keychain, Face ID or Touch ID (PRO) INSPECT • Syntax-highlighted JSON tree • Response history with side-by-side diff (free) • Status, headers, timing and byte count AUTHENTICATION • Bearer token, Basic, API key (header or query) • OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE, and client credentials (PRO) • Automatic token refresh, Keychain storage • Provider presets: Google, GitHub, Azure AD, Auth0 • JWT inspection GRAPHQL & WEBSOCKET (PRO) • GraphQL editor with schema introspection, variables and named operations • ws:// and wss:// sessions with text and binary frames, a full transcript and auto-reconnect IMPORT • cURL — paste a command and get a request. Free, and staying free • Postman v2.1 collections, OpenAPI 3.0 and Swagger 2.0 (PRO) PROBEPAD PRO Lifetime is a one-time purchase (US$19.99). Yearly is US$9.99 per year after a seven-day free trial and renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

v1.6 — Home Screen NEW • Endpoint monitoring (PRO) — mark a saved request as watched and ProbePad runs it in the background, then notifies you when it starts failing. iOS decides when background work is granted; the app tells you when the last check happened. • Widgets — Last Request and Request Status on the Home Screen, Request Status as a Lock Screen circular, and Endpoint Monitor (PRO) showing a watched endpoint's last result and when it was seen. • Spotlight — request names and hosts are searchable from the Home Screen; tap a result to open the request. There is a switch for it in Settings, and secrets and environment values are never indexed. • Cancel a running request — one tap stops an in-flight request and tears the connection down. The cancelled attempt is written to history. • Find in response — a find bar over the response body with a live match count and wrapping next/previous, working on truncated bodies too. • Copy a header value — one action per header row, no text selection. • Cookie replay — send a returned Set-Cookie back as a request header in one tap, scoped to the request you have open. • Environment tags in history — every response records the environment it ran against, and a diff across two environments warns you before you read the changes. CHANGED • Settings is now six collapsible sections that remember what you left open, with a search field that filters every row — by label, by section heading, or by localized synonym. • The Shortcuts and Siri actions run through the same execution path as the app, and their result carries the request, the status and the timing. • Pricing — lifetime is a one-time purchase (US$19.99), or US$9.99 a year with a seven-day free trial. Prices for your region are shown in the app. If you bought ProbePad before v1.6 you keep PRO forever, at no charge, including everything in this release. Nothing to buy, nothing to do. • cURL import is free for everyone. • The paywall lists only features that really are PRO, in your language. • The Pro section in Settings names the entitlement you actually hold instead of a yes/no banner. FIXED • A database migration failure now offers recovery instead of taking the app down with it. • Errors say what happened, what it means and what to try, with diagnostics you can expand and send. • Dynamic Type is honoured throughout, up to the largest accessibility sizes, and VoiceOver reads a response status as one sentence. • The Settings sync row no longer suggests cross-device syncing runs in this release. • Widget and monitoring copy is fully localized in English, German, Spanish and Japanese.
