About Proxyman

Proxyman is an HTTP and HTTPS debugging proxy built first as a native Mac app and now also available for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. It captures traffic from the computer, phones and emulators, previews JSON, GraphQL, JWT and cookies, and offers breakpoints, Map Local, Map Remote, scripting and diffing for changing requests and responses on the fly. One-click setup for the iOS Simulator and Android emulator makes it popular with mobile developers. A free trial version is limited to a single debugging rule and basic features. Paid licenses are perpetual with a year of updates and cover all desktop platforms, with mobile apps included in higher tiers; teams can choose perpetual seats or a yearly subscription with cloud workspaces. It is closed source, and the free version is too limited for regular work.

Best for: Mobile and web developers who want a modern, native GUI for HTTP debugging.
