Proxyman

Proxyman is a native HTTP debugging proxy for developers who need to see exactly what their app is sending and receiving. When an API call fails silently or a mobile request returns something unexpected, guessing from logs wastes hours. Proxyman captures HTTPS traffic in one click, so you can inspect requests, responses, and headers instead of adding print statements everywhere.

What stands out in any Proxyman review is the breadth of what it can listen to: iOS devices, iOS Simulators, Android devices, and Android emulators, alongside regular desktop traffic. That makes it a natural fit for mobile engineers debugging a client against a staging API, backend developers verifying payloads, and QA folks who need to reproduce and document a network issue precisely.

If you build or test anything that talks to an API, a proper HTTPS debugging tool pays for itself the first time it saves you an afternoon. Proxyman is one of the better-known options in the development category for good reason, and the one-click capture setup means you can try it on a real bug today rather than budgeting time to configure it.
