$50 each year per device for a closed source application that can be written in half a day? I don't think this is 2003 anymore but the author knows his audience and didn't even bother to write it for anything other than Mac. Again, this feels very heartbreaking when compared to all quality FOSS apps out there.

This overly thick yet empty appeal to FOSS starts to sound like you protesting at the people in line at the movie theater because don't they know they can go home and watch something on TV for free? Sometimes there are even good shows if you wait long enough!

`mitmproxy` is also a really nice tool for MITM'ing your connections. It's free and open source, has a nice TUI, scripting in python, intercept and modify requests/responses, etc https://mitmproxy.org/

Seconding: mitmproxy (including its `mitmdump` util) is an outstanding tool; should be in every software developer's kit.

Some tools are for different group of developers.

Sometime I need to script to change the response by code, I use mitmproxy too, since mitmproxy has this feature. But sometime I just need to quickly see the HTTPS Response and I would go to Proxyman since it's so intuitive and easy of use.

I can't help feeling that it looks visually similar to Proxie[0] Disclamer: I am the author of Proxie. [0] https://proxie.app

Yes, I, Creator of Proxyman here, admit that I'm heavily inspired from Proxie UI too from the beginning day of Proxyman. Thank you for the first pioneer, who is dedicated to ship the Debugging tool on macOS app

I couldn't find the Linux version, perhaps something is wonky with the browser/os detection, it's assuming I'm on a mac and showing macOS screenshot previews, etc.

Yeah it's mac only. If you're looking for a Linux equivalent, try https://HttpToolkit.tech

Works similarly, but runs on Linux & Windows too, and it's fully open source: https://github.com/httptoolkit

but the CLI is not friendly for new users like me couple year ago. I used to be an iOS Developers, who spent most of time to communicate with QA team during the development. QA teams are not willing to use mitmproxy since it's too hard and Charles was the last choice/

Caveat: Node/Electron app.

The Pro version costs 6 EUR/month.
