## What it is
Betwixt is a web debugging proxy desktop app built on Electron that captures and analyzes HTTP/HTTPS traffic using the familiar Chrome DevTools Network panel interface. It runs a local proxy (default port 8008) that you point system or terminal traffic through to inspect requests outside the browser.

## Use cases
- inspect HTTP traffic from a terminal or CLI tool
- debug API requests outside the browser
- capture and analyze system-wide web traffic
- inspect HTTPS traffic with a MITM proxy
- analyze network requests using a Chrome DevTools-like UI

## When to choose
- you want DevTools Network panel UX for non-browser traffic
- you need to debug requests from scripts, terminals, or native apps
- you prefer a simple cross-platform GUI proxy over complex tools like Charles or Fiddler

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or recent updates (last release 2021)
- you need advanced features like throttling, breakpoints, or scripting that Charles/Fiddler/mitmproxy offer
- you only need to inspect browser traffic, where DevTools itself suffices

## Facets
- artifact type: application
