## What it is
Chucker is an Android library that acts as an OkHttp interceptor to inspect HTTP(S) requests and responses made by an Android app, persisting them on-device with a built-in UI for viewing and sharing. It is an on-device alternative to desktop proxy tools like Charles, showing activity via notifications.

## Use cases
- inspect HTTP requests and responses from my Android app on device
- debug OkHttp network traffic without Charles or a proxy
- view and share API request/response bodies during development
- monitor network activity of an Android app via notifications
- redact sensitive headers when logging HTTP traffic
- isolate network debugging tools from release builds

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app using OkHttp and want on-device HTTP inspection
- you want to debug network calls without connecting to an external proxy like Charles
- you need a debug-only network inspector that can be excluded from release builds via a no-op variant

## When to avoid
- you need to inspect traffic from non-Android platforms
- your app does not use OkHttp or a compatible interceptor chain
- you need production-grade network analytics rather than development debugging
