## What it is
AppMon is an automated framework for monitoring and tampering with system API calls of native macOS, iOS, and Android apps, built on Frida. It includes components for sniffing API calls, manipulating app behavior, tracing Android Java methods, and building inspectable IPAs and APKs for non-jailbroken/non-rooted devices.

## Use cases
- intercept and monitor API calls made by iOS and Android apps
- tamper with native app behavior at runtime for security testing
- trace Java classes and methods in Android APKs
- create inspectable IPAs on non-jailbroken iOS devices
- build inspectable APKs for non-rooted Android devices
- profile mobile apps during penetration testing

## When to choose
- you need runtime security testing or dynamic analysis of native mobile apps
- you want a Frida-based tool with a web interface for hooking iOS/Android/macOS apps
- you need to inspect apps on non-jailbroken or non-rooted devices

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the project has seen limited updates since 2023
- you only need static analysis of apps without runtime instrumentation
- you target platforms other than macOS, iOS, or Android
