About HTTP Toolkit
HTTP Toolkit captures HTTP(S) traffic from browsers, applications and other clients so you can view and edit each request and response. Interception is set up with one click for a wide range of tools and platforms, and you can target a single client so its traffic is not mixed with everything else on the machine.
It suits developers debugging API calls, testing how an app handles modified responses, or building against an HTTP service. Builds are offered for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, and Linux as DEB, RPM, Arch and AppImage packages.
