Proxyman Alternative- More Power, Best Developer Experience
Proxyman is a polished native debugging proxy, but it runs at the system level, needs a trusted certificate, and can fight your VPN. Requestly gives you the same interception power in the browser and desktop with none of that ceremony.
Proxyman is a capable native proxy — until the ceremony gets in the way.
Proxyman is a polished, native macOS proxy that intercepts and edits HTTP/HTTPS traffic. But it runs at the system level, needs a trusted certificate, and can fight your VPN.
Solid native interception on macOS
- Polished, native macOS debugging proxy
- Intercepts and edits HTTP/HTTPS requests
- Modifies HTTP headers, API responses, and URLs
- Script injection and breakpoints
Where the system-level ceremony hurts
- Runs at the system level and needs a trusted certificate
- Can conflict with your VPN
- No shared workspaces or team collaboration
- No built-in mock server, session capture, or API client
Why developers prefer Requestly over Proxyman
Interception without a system-level proxy, plus team collaboration and cross-platform reach Proxyman can't match.
