## What it is
An Android app that captures network packets using a local VPN service, showing live connections per app and parsing/saving HTTP (and partially HTTPS) traffic. Users can select specific apps to capture and browse historical capture records.

## Use cases
- capture http traffic from android apps
- inspect network connections per app on android
- debug api requests from a mobile app
- save and review past packet captures
- sniff which servers an app connects to

## When to choose
- you need on-device packet capture on Android without root
- you want to filter capture by a specific app
- you need to save and revisit past capture sessions

## When to avoid
- you need full HTTPS decryption - that part is not open source
- you need a desktop packet analyzer like Wireshark
- you need an actively maintained project - last release was 2019
