Settings & Storage

The Settings screen is HTTPBot's home for app-wide preferences and the things you save and reuse across requests — your Cookies, Saved Credentials, Environments, Global Variables, Response Filters, and more. It's also where you upgrade to Pro, manage your subscription, and find this documentation.

This page walks through Settings the way the app groups it, so you can find any option quickly.

General

Request Settings

Opens the request settings that apply to every request you send — things like timeouts, redirect behavior, cookies, Verify SSL, and the default User-Agent. The request … menu → Settings opens the same screen. For request-level cookies, see Request Settings.

Disk Usage

Shows how much space HTTPBot is using on your device and lets you free it up. There are two tabs:

• Requests — every saved request that has received responses, listed with how many responses it holds and how much space they take, sorted largest first. You can clear them all or select specific ones to delete. Deleting here removes the stored response history; it doesn't delete the request itself.
• Files — files involved in your requests, including files you've uploaded from HTTPBot and files downloaded as responses. As with requests, you can clear everything or pick individual files to remove.

Each tab shows a running total of the space in use, so you can see how much you'll reclaim before deleting.

Saved Items

This section holds everything HTTPBot lets you save once and reuse across many requests.

Cookies

Opens the app-wide cookie store — the cookies HTTPBot shares across your requests, grouped by domain. You can:

• Browse cookies by domain, or filter to All Domains or a single domain.
• Add a new cookie (tap +, or the Add button within a domain).
• Edit a cookie by tapping it.
• Delete a cookie from its context menu.

These cookies are stored centrally and apply automatically to requests whose URL matches the cookie's domain. This is different from the per-request cookies you manage from within an individual request's editor — those are scoped to a single request. See Cookies for the per-request side.

Certificates

Manage client certificates for mutual TLS (mTLS) with APIs that require them, and trust custom CA bundles. See Certificates for setup details.

Environments

Manage your Environments — named sets of variables (for example a staging and a production environment) that you switch between to re-point requests without editing them. See Environments & Variables.

Global Variables

Manage Global Variables — values available to every request regardless of the active environment, ideal for things you use everywhere. Global Variables and Environments work together; see Environments & Variables.

Saved Credentials

Shown in Settings as Saved Auth, this is your library of reusable authentication setups. Save a credential once and attach it to any request instead of re-entering it each time. Basic, Bearer, and API Key auth are available for free; advanced methods such as OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0, AWS, JWT, Digest, Hawk, and NTLM are Pro. PRO See Authentication.

Response Filters

Your saved Response Filters — the JQ, JSONPath, and XPath queries you use often to extract data from responses. See Filtering Responses.

GraphQL

Your saved GraphQL queries and variables, so you can reuse them across requests. See GraphQL.

Postman

Postman Account

Connect your Postman account to sync and import your Postman collections into HTTPBot. See Postman Sync for connecting your account, and Importing for one-off file imports (OpenAPI, HAR, and cURL).

HTTPBot

Upgrade to Pro / Manage Subscription

If you don't have HTTPBot Pro, this row reads Upgrade to Pro and opens the paywall where you can subscribe and unlock all Pro features. Once you're subscribed, it changes to Manage Subscription, where you can review or change your subscription.

HTTPBot Pro is a subscription handled through your Apple ID. To see exactly what Pro includes, see the Free vs Pro section on Welcome to HTTPBot.

Product Roadmap

Opens HTTPBot's public product roadmap so you can see what's planned and in progress.

All Features

A browsable list of HTTPBot's features, including which ones are part of Pro — a handy way to discover capabilities you might not have tried yet.

Help

Opens this documentation — the set of guides you're reading now. Whenever you're unsure how something works, this is where to look. Start at Welcome to HTTPBot for an overview, or Your First Request if you're just getting started.
