24 alternatives to Mock Studio
Hi HN, I built this after using Requestly, Mokku, Mockiato, Tweak, and Mockoon. Each one either paywalled the features I actually needed, required a separate server running on my machine, or just didn't fit the way I work. The browser is already open. DevTools is already open. I wanted the mocking to live there too, not in a separate app I have to remember to start. So roughly a month ago, I started building my own tools. It intercepts network requests at the browser level and lets you swap the response, status code, headers, body without touching your code or spinning up anything.…

Hi HN, I built the first version of Mocktail years ago. I recently came back to the project, and after a pretty substantial rebuild, v4 is now out. Mocktail is a free and open-source, self-hosted mock API server with a built-in dashboard and database, packaged as a single ~25 MB binary. You can run it locally or on your own infrastructure — no account or hosted service required. You can define endpoints and responses, generate realistic data per request, customize headers, status codes and latency, and inspect incoming requests in real time. With v4, I also added MCP support, so coding…

Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…

Hi HN! I'm Ankit, the founder of Beeceptor, a request mocking and intercepting tool. This time, I built something new to address a pain I’ve personally felt (and heard from dozens of QA, frontend, and platform teams): making OpenAPI specs actually useful during development. API contracts just sit around as docs often. What if you could 'activate' them, instantly have a realistic, hosted mock server-with contract validation, smart test data, and early usage? So I made _Mockaroo for OpenAPI_, but with brains. It spins up a hosted mock server from your spec in one click. It: - Generates…
