Proxyman is an HTTP/HTTPS debugging proxy tool for developers. It initially focused on delivering a native macOS experience, and has since expanded to macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. By acting as a man-in-the-middle proxy, it captures traffic between apps and servers and supports SSL decryption, allowing developers to inspect requests, responses, headers, JSON, cookies, GraphQL, and more in plain text.
In terms of feature completeness, Proxyman covers most mainstream network debugging workflows: multi-condition filtering, Breakpoints for modifying requests/responses in real time, Map Local/Map Remote mocking, No Cache, Repeat/Compose Request, WebSocket, GraphQL, Network Throttling, Diff, DNS Spoofing, SOCKS Proxy, and more. It is especially friendly for mobile debugging, with setup guides for real iOS/Android devices as well as simulators/emulators. For iOS Simulator, it can reduce the need for manual proxy and certificate configuration. For backend development, it provides a preconfigured Terminal for HTTP proxying and certificate trust across runtimes such as NodeJS, Ruby, Python, and Golang.
The individual plans use perpetual licenses: Standard costs $89 for 1 device, while Personal costs $99 for 2 devices and includes mobile seats. Both include 1 year of updates, and you can continue using the last available version after the update period expires. Team plans are available as either one-time purchase or subscription, with a minimum of 5 seats. They include License Manager, log sharing, team Workspace, access control, 10GB cloud storage, and more. Rule sync and SSO are marked in the main copy as coming soon. Payments are processed via Stripe, and team purchases support invoices and wire transfer.
Its strengths are a native interface, strong performance, and ease of use, with features spanning individual debugging through team collaboration. The MCP Server also allows AI tools such as Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor to directly analyze flows, generate cURL commands, or create debugging rules. Limitations include a relatively restricted set of advanced features in the trial version, a 5-seat minimum for team plans that may be costly for small teams, and no clear mention in the main copy of whether it is open source or supports self-hosting.
Proxyman is well suited to mobile, backend, frontend API, and QA teams, especially in scenarios involving HTTPS, GraphQL, WebSocket, mocked responses, and mobile traffic capture. The main copy does not provide information about access from mainland China. Payments rely on Stripe, so companies looking to purchase should pay attention to the availability of credit card payments, invoices, and wire transfers. Alternatives include Charles Proxy, Fiddler, mitmproxy, and Wireshark.
