Fluxzy vs Mediator

Fluxzy is an HTTP proxy for recording, analyzing, debugging, and changing HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and WebSocket traffic, over plain or secure channels. Its proxyless capture records application traffic without proxy configuration, including apps that ignore system proxy settings. Rules can change headers, add authentication, simulate slow networks, forward requests, spoof DNS, alter TLS fingerprints, and force HTTP versions. It can decode gRPC and Protobuf traffic, and inspect OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini API requests and responses, including streams and tool calls. Captures can be exported as HAR, Fiddler SAZ, PCAPNG, cURL commands,.http files, or native.fxzy files. Fluxzy works offline without an account or cloud sync, and its site says it has no telemetry. Community is free for personal use and adds an x-fluxzy-community header. Pro is €49, paid once; Enterprise is €59, paid once with a three-seat minimum.

Mediator is a free, open-source desktop proxy for debugging gRPC traffic on Linux, macOS and Windows. It can redirect requests to beta or test servers without changes to client code. When an API schema is available, it parses gRPC requests and responses and presents binary messages as a JSON tree. Schemas can come from server reflection, proto source roots compiled with protoc, or FileDescriptorSet files. Matching server rules also allow gRPC and HTTPS decoding after the client installs the root certificate generated by that Mediator installation. Certificates are available in DER and PEM formats, and another installation requires its own certificate. The proxy listens on port 8888 by default. Downloads include Windows MSI, macOS DMG, Apple Silicon macOS DMG and Linux deb packages. Setup examples cover Java, Objective-C/iOS and Go clients.
