HTTP Toolkit is an open-source desktop application for intercepting, inspecting, and rewriting HTTP(S) traffic on Windows, Linux, and Mac. It offers one-click interception for browsers, mobile apps, Docker containers, and backend processes, plus traffic mocking and a built-in HTTP client.

Use cases

  • debug http api requests and responses
  • intercept https traffic from android app
  • mock api responses for testing
  • capture traffic from docker containers
  • inspect http headers and bodies
  • rewrite http requests with breakpoints
  • debug traffic from node.js or python scripts

When to choose

  • you need to debug or inspect HTTP(S) traffic from clients, apps, or containers with minimal setup
  • you want one-click interception for Android, browsers, Docker, or backend processes
  • you need to mock, redirect, or rewrite HTTP responses during development or testing

When to avoid

  • you only need a lightweight CLI proxy or curl-style request tool
  • you need non-HTTP protocol debugging like raw TCP, WebSocket-heavy, or gRPC (limited support)
  • you require a fully free tool for advanced automated mocking, which is gated behind the Pro tier
