Expose HTTP Server

Build and debug local APIs on iPhone or iPad: match request bodies, inspect redacted payloads, replay requests, and preview dynamic response templates.

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, Android, 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

New in 0.1.0: request-body matching, opt-in payload inspection with sensitive headers redacted, one-tap request replay, live template previews, and source-backed conditional responses. Bulk selection cleans routes, sources, and logs faster; source health warnings find missing files or photos; guided Local Network permission and actionable start recovery make sessions easier to launch.

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.
