Bringing Nginx-level routing to your desktop. Intercept, inspect, and rewrite HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket traffic from any client — browser, Postman, WeChat DevTools, or scripts. ~10MB Tauri 2 native app.
Download ~10MB. Trust the CA certificate with one click.
Visual drag-and-drop or YAML — match domains, paths, headers, and set actions.
System proxy activates instantly. All client traffic is captured and routed by your rules.
Full MITM decryption for HTTPS via self-signed CA. Native WebSocket tunnel support with handshake-phase header modification.
Organize rules by project. Each project listens to specific hosts with independent configuration. No more workspace switching.
Visual drag-and-drop builder or Monaco YAML editor — switch anytime.
Domain wildcard, path pattern, HTTP method, headers, query params, and cookies.
Forward, Redirect, Mock (inline/file), Block, and Pass-through.
Add, override, or remove request/response headers on matched rules.
Live request panel with filtering by method, status, protocol. Click to inspect full detail.
Auto-sets and restores system proxy. No manual OS configuration needed.
Three-panel layout: project sidebar, rule configuration, and real-time proxy log.
Bypass CORS restrictions and debug cross-origin API calls from your local dev server to remote backends without modifying browser settings.
Return mock responses (inline JSON or local files) for endpoints that aren't ready yet. Develop frontend independently of backend progress.
Switch between dev, staging, and production backends with a single rule change. Redirect requests to different targets instantly.
Intercept, forward, or block WebSocket connections. Inspect handshake headers and modify them in transit.
Route /api/user to developer A, /api/order to developer B. Path-level traffic distribution for microservices and team collaboration.
View complete request/response headers and payloads in real-time. Identify unexpected headers, tokens, or data leaks.
Works beyond the browser — captures traffic from Postman, WeChat DevTools, curl, Node.js scripts. One config, every client.
