Guides

One outcome, start to finish

Step-by-step how-tos grounded only in what Busymate DevTools ships today — every screen, toggle and command is real, and every limit is stated plainly.

Pick your outcome

Eight jobs, eight guides

Each guide lists what you need, numbers the steps in the order they must happen, and ends with what can go wrong.

Install the app, trust the certificate, flip the VPN on, and read decrypted HTTPS in the dashboard — cellular included.

Run the on-phone VPN engine instead of a desktop proxy, and learn exactly which apps decrypt on an unrooted phone.

The honest limits of every capture path — on-device, proxy, rooted farm phone, Chrome connector — and how to tell a pinned host apart.

Answer one API call with a canned body on a real phone, fire it once with a run cap, or compute the body with a script.

Turn a phone's captured session into a standard HAR 1.2 file — one request, one host, one device, or everything.

Pause a phone's request or response mid-flight, edit the raw HTTP, and continue or abort it from the dashboard.

One terminal command, one browser sign-in, and Claude Code can read and explain the traffic your phone just captured.

Pair a Mac full of real phones and drive the fleet from a plain-language prompt, with a confirm gate on every risky action.

FAQ

Before you dive in

Do these guides describe features that exist today?

Yes. Every step names a real screen, toggle, menu or command that ships in the current iOS app, Android app, dashboard, proxy, CLI or MCP server, and each guide states what the product cannot do just as plainly.

Which guide should I start with?

Start with the capture guide for your phone — iPhone or Android. Everything else (mocks, HAR export, breakpoints, MCP, the farm) assumes traffic is already landing in your dashboard.

Where is the deeper reference?

The docs site. Each guide is the shortest complete path to one outcome; every product page it links to carries a Read-the-docs link into the matching reference section.

Ready to see your own traffic?

Open the dashboard, pair a phone with the first guide, and the rest of the series works on the traffic you just captured.
