About

Charles is an HTTP proxy, HTTP monitor, and reverse proxy designed for developers to inspect HTTP and SSL/HTTPS traffic between their machine and the Internet, including requests, responses, and headers containing cookies and caching information. Founded in New Zealand, Charles is a proprietary, paid software available on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and iPad. It offers features such as debugging, web page debugging, HTTP(S) debugging, and HTTP monitoring. User reviews highlight its utility as a cross-platform tool with SSL support, though some suggest that its interface is dated and it may not work well with VPNs, especially compared to newer alternatives. The company maintains a Twitter presence at https://twitter.com/alternativeto. It allows users to suggest and vote on features. A review from 2019 praises its GUI application, while a 2025 review notes the emergence of better alternatives like Requestly and Proxyman.
