Moni Proxy vs Proxyfor

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.

Proxyfor is a proxy command-line tool for capturing and inspecting HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, and secure WebSocket traffic. It works in forward or reverse proxy modes and offers both terminal and web interfaces. Captures stream as requests and responses arrive, allowing filtering, searching, and export to Markdown, cURL, or HAR files. The CLI can filter HTTP(S) traffic with a regular expression matching method and URI, or by MIME type. HTTPS inspection requires installing Proxyfor’s CA certificate on the target device; the project describes a built-in certificate installation app. Proxyfor runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted deployments. Installation is documented through Cargo, Docker, or downloadable binaries, including a single-file portable executable for desktop systems. Docker instructions mount a configuration directory and expose port 8080. The project is open source under either the MIT License or Apache License 2.0. GitHub lists version 0.5.0 as the latest release.
