Betwixt for Mac

Product snapshot

Betwixt is a lightweight proxy tool for macOS that integrates with the Chrome DevTools Network panel to give developers a live view of browser traffic. It’s offered at no cost and is aimed at making the inspection of web requests and responses straightforward during development and troubleshooting.

Core capabilities

• Inspect request and response payloads, including headers and status codes
• Record and display live HTTP and HTTPS traffic for immediate analysis
• Surface timing and throughput metrics to help pinpoint slow operations
• Provide a simple, graphical interface for navigating captured sessions

How it improves troubleshooting

• Enables on-the-fly examination of network activity so issues are diagnosed sooner
• Makes it easier to find bottlenecks by correlating headers, payloads, and performance data
• Lowers the barrier to debugging for macOS developers with an approachable UI
• Speeds iteration by surfacing detailed network insights in real time

Supported protocols and captures

Betwixt works with standard web protocols and can intercept both encrypted and unencrypted browser traffic. Because it hooks into the Chrome DevTools workflow, you can combine the proxy’s captures with DevTools’ Network tab for deeper examination.
