Backend not ready? Map Local has you covered.
Map matching traffic to files on your Mac—JSON, HTML, whatever you need. No process to run. No deploy. How Map Local works →
Intercept & edit
Breakpoints
Pause traffic when it matches your rules. Inspect or rewrite headers and body on the wire, then Execute or continue—full control before the exchange completes.
Why developers switch
Less friction. More debugging.
Every decision in ProxyHawk was made to remove a pain point other tools take for granted.

iPhone setup
Enter Mac's IP on your iPhone — every session. Forget to turn it off and your phone loses internet.
Install the cert once. Tap Capture. Traffic flows automatically, forever.
Postman export
Flat request list only — you rebuild base URLs, environments, and auth tokens yourself.
Full collections with environments pre-filled from real traffic. Import and run.
Team sharing
Export a HAR file, email it, and hope your teammate has the right tool to open it.
One click → shareable link. Opens in any browser. No app, no account needed.
Free tier
Paid license required to use core features.
Capture, inspect, and export — free, no time limit.
Inside the app
API Client
Open captured requests, edit headers and body, import cURL, and hit Send in the same app. Export traffic as Postman collections with environment variables—base URLs, auth tokens, and custom vars pre-filled, ready to share with your team. Fewer context switches means faster debugging.
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.
Block rules
Drop or filter unwanted traffic so you can 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.
Export Postman collections
Export captured requests as Postman-ready collections with environment variables — base URLs, auth tokens, and headers preserved. Share with your team in one step.
One-time iPhone setup
Install the certificate once on your physical iPhone. From then on, just start capture — no Wi-Fi proxy to configure, no IP to remember, no cleanup after every session.
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.
New
Share sessions with team
One click generates a shareable link. Teammates open it in any browser — full headers, body, and timing. Tokens stripped before upload, link auto-expires.
New
Annotations
Add notes to any request while you investigate. Context travels with the session when you share with teammates so nothing gets lost in translation.
New
OpenAPI spec generator
Capture real API traffic and export a ready-to-use OpenAPI 3 spec. Stop writing docs by hand — generate them from production calls.

FAQ
Short answers; details live in the docs.
Is ProxyHawk an alternative to Charles Proxy or Proxyman?
Yes—and for physical iOS devices, it's significantly easier. Same kind of tool: local HTTPS capture, SSL decrypt, traffic list, and export. ProxyHawk adds a one-time iPhone setup (no manual Wi-Fi proxy every session), built-in Postman collection export, and a native Mac-first design that's faster and lighter. If you're tired of re-entering IP addresses or switching between apps, ProxyHawk was built to fix exactly that.
Do I need to configure Wi-Fi proxy settings on my iPhone every time?
No—that's one of ProxyHawk's biggest advantages. After a one-time certificate installation on your device, ProxyHawk handles the connection automatically. There's no IP address to enter, no Wi-Fi proxy to toggle on and off, and no risk of forgetting to disable it. Other tools require this manual dance every session; ProxyHawk doesn't.
Can I export captured requests to Postman?
Yes — and it goes further than other tools. ProxyHawk exports a proper Postman collection with environment variables already generated: base URLs become {{baseUrl}}, auth tokens become {{authToken}}, and custom variables are extracted from real captured traffic. Other proxy tools that offer Postman export give you a flat list of requests — you still have to build environments yourself. See the API Client docs for details.
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 or Postman collections. See API Client.
Is shared session data private?
Yes — and you control what's included. When you share a session, ProxyHawk strips Authorization headers, cookies, and tokens client-side before anything is uploaded. The resulting snapshot contains only sanitized request/response data. Links auto-expire after 7 days and are unguessable. Sharing is opt-in — nothing is ever sent anywhere without you clicking Generate Link.
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.
Set up once. Debug faster. Ship together.
Download free, capture traffic in one click, and share sessions with your team in seconds. iPhone setup takes minutes — and you'll never repeat it.
