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.", "body_md": "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.\n\nWhat 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.\n\nIt's Apple silicon only for now and free for personal use. What I want most is to hear where it feels awkward.
