The problem: when an app misbehaves, you can't see the conversation between it and the server. Browser dev tools stop at the browser, logs show what the code thinks happened, and packet captures are unreadable unless you do this for a living.
So I built NovaWire: a Windows app that sits between any program and the internet, shows each request and reply in plain readable form, and lets you change the reply while the app is running.
HTTPS readable after one-click setup; JSON as a tree, not a wall of text.
Every request labelled with the program that sent it (node.exe, brave.exe, a Windows service).
Fake a reply, add a delay, or block a call — no code changes, no restart.
Replay requests, copy them out as curl, save a session to one file, or capture a phone on the same Wi-Fi.
Native Rust engine, 9.7 MB installer, no account, no telemetry. Free for personal use. Windows 10/11 64-bit only for now.
feedback is welcome, is it useful, is it easy to use, what can be better etc. Thanks in advance.
