“closer to a MITM proxy like Proxyman than Wireshark”

“As Proxyman is really a good product, it seems they are going too much for the profit instead of what the users really needs”

I used Charles for many years but proxyman's performance is a real step up.

“A much better alternative for MacOS folks”

“definitely powerful and more modern, it honestly didn't feel”

“https://proxyman.com/”

“It's a far better macOS app than Charles”

I used Charles for a while and also jumped on the Proxyman bandwagon. It’s a slick tool and even works for remote debugging (i.e., an iPhone attached to your computer with a cable).

“A few years ago I switched to https://proxyman.com and found it easier to use.”
