Cool, but the immediate question that comes to mind is: how is it differentiated from Charles Proxy?

And congratulations for getting to a TestFlight version!

One of the game-changer features I'd implement is "Traffic Streaming".

Basically, Proxyman iOS will stream all traffic to Proxyman macOS by using Bonjour service from Apple. Steaming data with zero-configuration.

I use this feature in the Atlantis framework (https://github.com/ProxymanApp/atlantis) and I believe that it would save a lot of time (than the current approach by sharing the log via AirDrop)

A million time YES! I hate doing this when I need to work with Charless on iOS.

Thanks. After the first release on AppStore, I will implement this feature.

The first thing you can notice that it's easier to use in terms of UI/UX. I had a reasonable experience when working on the Proxyman macOS version, to turn the difficulty to easy and intuitive for everyone.

- I introduce the Pin screen to pin your working domains, with less distraction. - Better Request and Response Previewer with multiple lines (in Charles, it's one line, so it's too hard to see long content) - Better Body Previewer with syntax highlighting, adjustable font-size, and JSON TreeView. - Fully support iPad layout with multiple columns (Split View) - and many hidden features :)

One thing I wish for in Charles (or maybe it’s there but hidden) is the ability to generate full working curl commands with all headers, cookies, and body data. I guess it can generate intermediate formats (I forget the name, h something) and then there are web sites that can convert that to curl but it would be nice to have it built in. Remember that it’s easy to copy/paste straight from iOS to macOS.

Yes, It's already supported in the Beta build :D. Select your request -> Menu on the Top-Right Nav -> Copy as cURL. Then you can straight paste to the Terminal on macOS

Fantastic!
