| Limit: certificate pinning | Independent reviews report that applications using certificate pinning reject the proxy certificate and require separate bypass work such as instrumentation or repackaging. | The maker's QA guide warns that apps using certificate pinning cannot be intercepted unless pinning is disabled in the test build. |
| Rating on Apple App Store | The third-party app “mitmproxy client by txthinking” is rated 5.0 out of 5 from 2 ratings. | Not enough ratings or reviews to display an overview; no numeric rating is shown. |

| What it does | mitmproxy is an interactive SSL/TLS-capable proxy for inspecting, modifying and replaying HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, WebSocket and other protected traffic. | Moni Proxy is a mobile-first HTTP/HTTPS debugger that captures, decrypts, inspects, mocks, rewrites and replays traffic directly on devices. |

In their own words
mitmproxy
mitmproxy is a free set of tools for inspecting and changing traffic sent through a proxy. It handles HTTP/1, HTTP/2, WebSocket, and SSL/TLS traffic, and can intercept HTTP and HTTPS requests and responses for editing. Conversations can be saved for later analysis, and users can replay client requests or recorded server responses. The project provides an interactive console, a browser-based GUI, and non-interactive terminal output through mitmproxy, mitmweb, and mitmdump. Proxy modes include regular, local capture, WireGuard, reverse, transparent, TUN, upstream, SOCKS5, and DNS. Python addons can alter behavior in response to events and expose commands. WireGuard mode can capture traffic from external devices or individual Android apps. A built-in certificate authority generates interception certificates as needed. Installation options cover Windows, macOS, Linux, PyPI, and official Docker images. The project says it does not phone home or check for updates. Documentation notes that HTTP/3 client replay is currently broken; dependencies in precompiled binaries and Docker images are fixed at release and cannot be updated in place.
Moni Proxy
Moni Proxy captures and works with HTTP/HTTPS traffic on devices, letting developers inspect, mock, rewrite, and replay requests. For HTTPS, it decrypts calls after a guided local certificate authority setup and displays each request’s method, status, host, path, size, and duration. Its rules can map local responses, rewrite requests, override DNS, block traffic, or pause at breakpoints. Compose lets users build or edit a request’s method, URL, headers, and JSON body before replaying it. The tool also generates typed models from JSON in Swift, Dart, Kotlin, and TypeScript, and includes utilities for JSON, encoding, hashes, JWTs, QR codes, timestamps, and regular expressions.
The free plan costs nothing and includes one active rule each for mocks, rewrites, and breakpoints, three DNS override rules, three ignore-host rules, 20 Compose requests per day, seven-day history, one paired device, Dart code generation, and HAR export. Paid plans start at $71, paid once. iOS and Android apps and a macOS installer are listed; Windows and Linux desktop releases are marked as coming soon.
