I wrote a minimal iOS app called PocketServer (~1MB in download size) for creating multiple persistent local HTTP/WebDAV servers that can actually run in the background, simultaneously.

The WebDAV Server is Class 1 (Basic), compatible with WebDAV clients like CyberDuck (GUI & CLI).

There are already iOS apps for local HTTP/WebDAV servers, the reason I wrote PocketServer:

  • Background HTTP/WebDAV servers that keep running even when you switch apps or lock your phone screen.

  • A lightweight app you can download even on slow connections (1MB is 2 minutes on 2G) and dead simple to setup.

  • ~~Ramen for next month.~~ Already covered, so maybe for the month after next.

Available on the App Store.

Pricing: core functionality is free, with no ads. You only need the Pro upgrade ($2.99 one-time purchase, no subscription) for extra customization.
