Web UI
APXY includes an embedded Web UI for setup checks, live traffic review, and visual rule management.
Accessing the Web UI
The Web UI starts automatically when the proxy starts:
# Default: Web UI on port 8082 (proxy port 8080 + 2)
apxy start
# Custom port
apxy start --web-port 9090
# Disable Web UI
apxy start --web-port 0Open http://localhost:8082 in your browser.
Workflow groups
The left menu is organized around the jobs you perform most often:
| Group | What you do there | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Check readiness, certificate state, and capture health before debugging | Certificate Setup |
| Capture | Watch live traffic, inspect details, compose requests, and compare records | Proxy Traffic |
| Modify | Manage mocks, filters, redirects, SSL rules, network conditions, and interceptors | Mock Rules |
| Analyze | Review summaries, comparisons, and other investigation views based on captured traffic | Logs |
| Operate | Handle day-to-day controls such as environment setup and operating workflows around the proxy | CLI Reference |
Core screens
- Setup surfaces readiness checks and warnings before you begin a session.
- Traffic is the main live capture view with filters, density controls, and a detail panel.
- Compose lets you build and send requests from scratch.
- Diff compares two records side by side.
- Rule pages under Modify handle mocks, filters, redirects, SSL, network shaping, and interceptors.
Features
- Dark and light themes — toggle in the top bar
- Command palette — quick navigation to any page or action
- Traffic density toggle — comfortable or compact view for high-volume capture
- Filter panel — protocol tabs (All/HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket/JSON), manual pinning, saved presets
- Live streaming — real-time traffic updates via SSE
Navigation
The UI is organized into workflow-based groups:
- Setup — readiness checks, certificate status, and diagnostics
- Capture — traffic viewer, compose, and diff
- Modify — mock rules, filters, redirects, SSL, network, and interceptors
- Analyze — summaries and comparison workflows based on captured traffic
- Operate — supporting actions for running APXY day to day
When to choose the Web UI
Use the Web UI when you want:
- a live view of traffic as requests happen
- point-and-click rule editing instead of terminal commands
- setup diagnostics before testing HTTPS interception or capture
Use the CLI when you want scripting, quick terminal inspection, or repeatable automation.
