Runtime Mobile Security

1.5.24 open-source

Web interface powered by Frida for manipulating Android and iOS apps at runtime, enabling class dumping, method hooking, and script injection.

Summary

Runtime Mobile Security is an open-source web interface, built on Frida, that lets you manipulate Android and iOS apps at runtime, dumping loaded classes and methods, hooking calls, tracing arguments and return values, and loading custom scripts. It runs as a local Node.js application: you install Frida's CLI tools, get a Frida server running on the target device, then launch RMS from the command line and drive it through the browser. This is a fit for mobile app pentesters and reverse engineers rather than automated pipelines, since it's built around interactive, on-the-fly exploration of a running app. It sits in the same space as other Frida-based instrumentation front-ends, giving that toolkit a GUIGUIA graphical user interface, controls such as windows, buttons and menus. It lets people use software visually rather than entering commands. instead of raw scripting. Started in 2020 and still active, with 15 contributors and a release 51 days ago.

How Runtime Mobile Security helps

Can you change how an app behaves without rebuilding or repatching it?

attaches to the running process through Frida and lets you hook calls or load a custom script on the fly, so behavior changes for that session only

Are the same classes and hooks available on both platforms you are testing?

drives both Android and iOS apps through the same web interface and hooking workflow once a Frida server is reachable on the device

Lines in monospace are the tool's own words: help text parsed from its source, or an endpoint from its API document. Under release, a line is our summary of a dated release. Under docs, it is quoted from the tool's own documentation or website. Each links back to the source it came from.

Score card

  1. Shipping velocity releases a month, last 12 months
  2. Documentation quality release-notes rubric, 0–100
  3. Breaking-change discipline how rarely a release breaks users, and notice given
  4. Maintenance risk quiet time against its own cadence, maintainers
  5. Innovation & surface new capabilities, API and MCP surface
  6. Community health
  7. Contributor trend distinct committers, this year against last

Nine scores for Runtime Mobile Security, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.

Score cards are part of every paid plan.

See plans →

Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.

How this is scored
  • Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
  • Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
  • Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
  • Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
  • Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
  • Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
  • Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
  • Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.
