Public cheers for TCP Viewer
What Mac users said when TCP Viewer, a simpler Wireshark alternative from the Proxyman Team, launched on r/macapps.
“Brilliant idea – absolutely love it!”
u/GraphicMeat | r/macapps “Yes! We need a simplified Wireshark for sure.”
u/modelpiper | r/macapps “Loving it! I'm gonna try it”
u/akaBrOS | r/macapps
“Building on the actual Wireshark dissectors while stripping the UI down is a smart tradeoff, since most people only need the grouping and quick filters day to day. The native AppKit approach is a nice touch too.”

“Proxyman is one of the few dev tools I never think about, which is the highest compliment I can give, so this is exciting.”

“The GPL licensing is interesting here, means you can actually audit what its doing with your traffic which matters a lot for a packet capture tool”
