Requestly offers two ways to intercept and modify HTTP traffic. Use the right one for your workflow, or use both in combination.

Browser Extension

Best for: Intercepting and modifying traffic from inside the browser, fast setup, no configuration.

Desktop App

Best for: System-wide traffic interception, desktop apps, mobile devices, simulators, terminal, Node.js.
Can’t decide? Both experiences sync your rules through Team Workspaces, so you can use whichever suits your current task.
