Wireway – a native macOS HTTPS proxy with a built-in MCP server

A developer built Wireway, a native macOS HTTPS proxy written with a Kotlin/Native engine and a SwiftUI front end, released free for personal use on Apple silicon. The tool attributes each request to the app that sent it, including Android over adb and the iOS Simulator, and decodes HTTP/2, gRPC and Protobuf. It also ships a built-in MCP server that lets an agent search and replay captured traffic.

I built this for myself. I do mobile work, and Charles kept eating memory and slowing down, so I wrote my own proxy and it grew from there. The engine is Kotlin/Native and the app is SwiftUI.

What I use most: each request shows which app sent it, including Android over adb and the iOS Simulator, so I'm not digging through a flat list of hosts. It decodes HTTP/2, gRPC and Protobuf, and there's an MCP server so an agent can search and replay captured traffic.

It's Apple silicon only for now and free for personal use. What I want most is to hear where it feels awkward. If you send a bug report or a request, I'll give you a free Pro license: wireway.dev/shape-it
