MANTIS turns browser traffic into actionable analytics, privacy, and martech intelligence. Capture live network requests, reconstruct the causal chain behind tags and requests, and identify the tools and vendors involved. Inspect request details, analyze consent signals, and compare behavior before and after consent. Capture evidence stays local. Export findings into audit reports. Built for analysts, developers, and privacy practitioners. Free plan. In beta.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Stéphane Hamel, creator of MANTIS.
When I created WASP in 2009, I wanted to go a step further. I wanted to see what a website was sending, who received it, and what triggered each request. The tool I had in mind was out of reach back then. OpenAI made it possible for me to finally build it.
I've spent years helping organizations understand their analytics and marketing technology. One question keeps coming back: what is this website actually sending, to whom, and why?
I built MANTIS to make that investigation easier. It captures browser activity, traces requests back to their initiators, and helps identify the tools and vendors behind them. You can inspect cookies and dataLayer events, compare consent scenarios, and turn findings into audit reports.
Capture evidence stays in your browser. Managed enrichment uses scrubbed request signatures to help identify unfamiliar technologies. Observations and AI-assisted findings still need human review.
MANTIS is in beta, and I'm looking for feedback from analysts, developers, and privacy practitioners. Which part of a tracking or consent audit takes you the most time, and what evidence would make it easier?
Congrats Stéphane! MANTIS looks like an incredibly powerful tool for audits. I definitely remember the WASP inspector, and this looks like a more than worthy successor to it.
Thanks @jason_packer !
When I created WASP, I had a vision of what I wanted it to be, but the technology was simply not available and pushing further was getting too expensive. Years later, and with the help of AI, I'm able to push the envelope and create a tool that is easy to use, visually appealing, and where results are self-explanatory.
