Busymate Helper

Inspect every request your apps make — right on your iPhone and iPad.

Capture and inspect the HTTP/HTTPS requests your own apps make, then review them live on your Busymate dashboard. You choose exactly which domains get decrypted.

Open the dashboard

Watch: get set up in under a minute.

Quick start

From install to live capture in about a minute

Four quick steps — the walkthrough video shows it end to end.

  1. 01

    Sign in

    Create a free Busymate account with Apple or email — it pairs the app to your device.

  2. 02

    Add your domains

    List the domains you want to decrypt. Everything else stays end-to-end encrypted.

  3. 03

    Install & trust the CA

    Install the local certificate generated just for you — the 1-minute walkthrough above shows exactly how.

  4. 04

    Capture & inspect

    Flip capture on, accept the disclosure, and requests stream in live — tap any one for full headers and body.

Real-time feed

See requests as they happen

Every request/response pair streams into a live feed — method, URL, status, headers, query, and body. No Mac, no Wi-Fi proxy setup.

Full detail

Drill into headers and bodies

Open any request to inspect headers, query parameters, status codes, timing, and the full request and response bodies — formatted and readable.

You choose

Decrypt only the domains you pick

HTTPS is decrypted only for the domains you add to your SSL-proxy list. Everything else stays end-to-end encrypted and passes through untouched.

Bigger screen

Sync to your dashboard

Optionally sync captures to your private dashboard at dash.busymate.net — inspect on a bigger screen, search, tag, and export to HAR.

You stay in control

Busymate Helper is built for inspecting traffic from apps and sites you own or are authorized to debug. Capture is always opt-in and you decide exactly what gets decrypted.

Capture is opt-in

Nothing is captured until you explicitly turn it on and accept the on-screen disclosure.

HTTPS only for chosen domains

Decryption is limited to domains you add — and you can add or remove them at any time.

A local CA, on your device

Decryption uses a CA certificate generated just for you, with guided step-by-step setup inside the app.

Stop and remove anytime

Stop capturing and remove the VPN profile from iOS Settings whenever you like. Synced captures are deletable.

Privacy first

Traffic is captured on-device using Apple's NetworkExtension — nothing is routed through our servers. Captured data can include sensitive values such as tokens and credentials, so only inspect domains you understand and control. Synced captures are stored under your own account and can be deleted at any time. See our privacy policy.
