Tried out the new native debugging proxy @proxyman_app, and it’s awesomely simple and just works - I love it πŸ‘πŸΌ. Glad to see it works with Websockets too so works with @ablyrealtime.

I use Dash ( @kapeli ) almost every day. I find Paw ( @luckymarmot ) indispensable when dealing with APIs. I recently discovered Proxyman ( @proxyman_app ) and I’m glad I’ll never need to use Charles ever again.

On 2️⃣, I highly recommend http://proxyman.com – you'd be surprised how much you can learn about any system by watching what it does over the network

@wesbos

Proxyman is such a cool app. You can view http/ws requests from any app on your computer, and install an SSL proxy cert so you can see requests/responses that apps on your computer are making.
I've used many - wireshark, charles, etc - and this is the best one i've used.

@freak4pc

Have to say @proxyman_app is an absolutely phenomenal tool. I can't imagine using Charles with a native macOS app that works so well. One thing I'm really missing is the ability to run diffs between requests to the same endpoint, that would be such a valuable feature.

proxyman.app a new app to intercept network traffic on your Mac, a beautiful, native Mac app. Still a huge fan of Charles web proxy, but this one just looks so nice @proxyman_app

Officially switching to @proxyman_app after 10 years of using Charles! Much better interface, app performance, and also shows what process is making a particular web request!

Probably lame to most people πŸ˜… but @proxyman_app is probably one of my favorite dev tools. For React Native apps that aren't on the Expo / Radeon IDE workflow yet, it's indispensable.

Started using @proxyman_app instead of Charles recently and I’m enjoying it more and more 😁 it basically does everything Charles does, except slightly nicer and more convenient. Especially the way it installs certs on the simulator for proxying πŸ‘πŸΌ

I've just discovered @proxyman_app and it looks like a pretty great Mac-only alternative to Charles Proxy. Super streamlined UI that gets right to the heart of what most of us want: to see the request and response being made from a specific app.

@proxyman_app has the nicest HTTP Proxy app for Mac, the cert installation flow for Simulators is where the bar is at!

Used Proxyman today for the first time and wow 😍
I've been using Charles for years, but honestly… Proxyman just gets it right.
Cleaner UI, faster setup, and way more dev-friendly.

Is it just me, or is Proxyman the new king of debugging tools? πŸ‘€

"Proxyman is 100x value for 2x the price. I am not even kidding. Native UI, shortcuts, cert installation helper tools. And script editor to programmatically edit requests is so much better and powerful than Charles' request editor."

"Yes, Proxyman has great sim integration, including the ability to filter by apps within the sim. It's a far better macOS app than Charles, and I've never found it to be lacking a feature I used in Charles."

"Likewise. I was a dedicated user of Charles for about a decade. It's great, but if you are a macOS user, Proxyman is better, easier, and more macOS friendly."

"It makes working with Xcode simulators even easier by having a dedicated UI workflow to install the proxy certificates and restart the sim. Proxyman makes this way nicer to work with and since switching I never faced certificate issues again."

Hacker News

"When I was still working with iOS, all of us on the team switched to Proxyman and found it much better than Charles. Developer experience wise that is (features, ui/ux, etc.) We ran into some issues with Charles and found Proxyman as the alternative. Don't remember the issues but we never looked back."
