ReqTector is a powerful and minimal macOS network debugging tool designed for developers and engineers to capture, inspect, and analyze HTTP/HTTPS requests in real time. With its intuitive and lightweight design, ReqTector provides a seamless experience for monitoring network activity, debugging API calls, and optimizing performance.

Capture All API Requests & Logs

• ReqTector monitors network traffic from URLSession, Alamofire, and NetworkExtension, logging all incoming and outgoing HTTP/HTTPS requests.

Real-time Request & Response Logging

• Easily view detailed request and response data, including headers, payload, status codes, and response times, allowing for in-depth debugging.

Advanced Filtering & Search

• Quickly find specific API calls using filters for endpoints, status codes, request methods, and response times, helping you streamline debugging.

Export & Debugging Tools

• Export API logs in JSON/CSV format for detailed offline analysis and collaboration with your team.

Minimal & Intuitive UI

• Designed specifically for macOS, ReqTector offers a clean, distraction-free interface that blends seamlessly with macOS aesthetics.

Technologies Used

• Swift, SwiftUI, Combine – Core development
• URLProtocol, NetworkExtension – Network interception
• CoreData / SQLite – Data storage and retrieval
• Alamofire (optional) – Support for enhanced networking capabilities

Use Cases
