Intercept, inspect, and debug HTTP/HTTPS traffic on your Mac. A powerful MITM proxy with a beautiful native UI — featuring syntax highlighting, Map Local, breakpoints, GraphQL support, and more. The best Charles Proxy & Proxyman alternative for macOS.
The native macOS UI here is genuinely impressive - syntax highlighting and breakpoints feel right at home instead of feeling like a web wrapper. Glad to see a Charles alternative that doesn't look dated out of the box.
@ophelia_kingsley That Charles comparison means a lot—we built Traceptor specifically to modernize the debugging experience. Syntax highlighting and breakpoints should feel native because they are native. We didn't want to port a 2010 design into 2026. Really glad it shows!
The native macOS UI stands out here - it feels like it actually belongs on the platform rather than a wrapper, and the syntax highlighting in the inspector makes scanning JSON responses genuinely pleasant.
@wilder_yates Thanks for the detailed feedback! Native macOS integration was non-negotiable for us—the inspector needed to feel like a first-class citizen on the platform, not an afterthought. And yeah, the syntax highlighting makes those long JSON payloads way less painful to parse through. Really appreciate you calling that out!
Love that this finally feels native to Mac instead of Java-looking. One thing I'd love to see is a scriptable rule engine — like letting me write JS or Python hooks that mutate requests/responses on the fly, so I can automate repetitive test setups without clicking through the UI every time.
@deacon_wan Thanks so much for noticing! We spent a lot of time making sure Traceptor felt native rather than just "web wrapper aesthetic." The JSON syntax highlighting was a deliberate choice too—debugging HTTPS should feel polished, not like you're squinting at a wall of text. Glad it landed well for you!
the native macOS UI here looks genuinely considered, not just a webview wrapper. the syntax highlighting for proxied responses is the kind of detail that makes daily debugging feel way less painful than charles
@hlya133826 Thanks so much! That's exactly what we optimized for—the daily debugging experience. Those small details (syntax highlighting, native interactions, instant feedback) add up when you're doing this 8 hours a day. Charles is powerful but it feels painful to use every single time. We didn't want that.
