- Fire up ngrok to expose your local port
- Open webhook.site to see if Stripe or WhatsApp actually hits you
- Run an eternal curl to replicate the request
- Get lost in a sea of scattered logs or text files
✅ It works. We've all done it for years.
❌ But let's be honest: it's chaotic, fragmented, and a massive time sink.
I always felt there should be a tool that centralizes this whole workflow, runs 100% on your own infrastructure, and respects privacy.
Since I didn't find one… I built it.
🔥 HookShot ⚓
Open Source – built for devs who deal with webhook chaos daily.
If you work with:
· APIs & enterprise integrations
· Complex automations (n8n, Make, Odoo)
· Payment gateways & webhooks (Stripe, GitHub, WhatsApp Business)
HookShot gives you:
🔹 Total inspection – receive and analyze payloads in real time
🔹 HTTP control – simulate real environments with custom responses
🔹 Forwarding & replay – redirect events to localhost and replay requests with one click (bye bye, testing webhooks from external platforms)
🔹 Self-hosted – spin it up anywhere with Docker in seconds
🧪 The project is in its early, beautiful stage.
Your feedback can directly shape the roadmap.
If you build integrations and have 5 minutes to break it, clone it, or try it – I'd love to know:
- What key feature is missing to replace your current workflow?
- Was anything confusing when spinning up the container?
- What's your biggest webhook pain point that HookShot doesn't solve yet?
