Inside the app
API Client
Open captured requests, edit headers and body, import cURL, and hit Send in the same app. Fewer context switches means faster debugging.
Developer feedback
Loved by teams who want faster debugging
★★★★★
"Light and simple — exactly what I needed. Had it running and capturing traffic in under two minutes. Other tools feel bloated next to this."
★★★★★
"The onboarding is ridiculously easy. Installed the CA, pointed my app at the proxy, and I was seeing decrypted traffic immediately. Zero friction."
★★★★★
"The UI is genuinely beautiful. Every other proxy tool feels dated next to ProxyHawk. It fits right in on macOS — native feel all the way through."
Core features
Pinned API focus views
Pin important hosts and patterns so you spend time on critical requests, not background noise.
Built-in API Client + replay
Open captured calls, edit them, and resend right away without switching tools.
Breakpoints for deep debugging
Pause matching requests or responses, inspect data, make changes, and continue with control.
Rewrite and block rules
Change or block live traffic to test failures, fallback behavior, and recovery paths before release.
Map Local, Map Remote, and mocks
Redirect calls to local files, staging services, or mock responses for predictable test runs.
HAR import, export, compare, replay
Share captures, compare runs, and replay request batches to reproduce bugs and confirm fixes.
Capture-to-collection workflow
Turn captured HTTP calls into reusable API Client collections for regression testing and team handoff.
Scripting automation
Automate request and response changes with scripts so repeated debugging tasks take seconds.
Network throttling
Simulate slow or unstable networks to catch timeout, retry, and loading-state issues early.

FAQ
Short answers; details live in the docs.
Is ProxyHawk an alternative to Charles Proxy or Proxyman?
Yes—for many Mac workflows. It is the same kind of tool: local HTTPS capture, SSL decrypt rules, traffic list, and export. ProxyHawk emphasizes Mac, privacy-first defaults, tight decrypt lists, and an in-app API Client next to the log. If you need deep legacy or non-Mac clients, Charles or others may still fit better.
Do I still need Postman or Insomnia?
Often no for solo debugging—collections and Send are in-app. Teams with collaboration in another client can still export cURL. See API Client.
Where does traffic data go?
Designed to stay on your Mac. Check your build for optional analytics or crash reporting in Security & privacy.
What about certificate pinning?
Pinning blocks MITM by design—you need debug builds or test hooks, same as any proxy debugger. See limitations.
Up and running in 2 minutes.
Install the CA, point your app at the proxy, see live traffic. That's it. No account, no cloud, no complexity — just instant HTTPS visibility on your Mac.
