Decoy: Lightweight Native macOS App for Local Mock Service Testing
By
Achilleas Buisman
Hard to chew. Probably not worth the jaw work.
Summary
Decoy is a lightweight native macOS application that enables developers to create local mock services for testing purposes. It allows testing of webhook requests, API wrappers, and application responses to various scenarios like redirects, timeouts, and failures. The app can also mock full webpages for testing scrapers and AI agents without risk of rate limiting or blocking. Key features include being lightweight (10MB), fast startup, no tracking, and not requiring Docker or Electron apps.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledDecoy lets developers create mock services locally. No need for Docker or heavy Electron apps.
I built it to test webhook requests coming from my own applications, testing my API wrappers and seeing how my app reacts to redirects, timeouts and failures.
You can even mock full webpages to test your scrapers and AI agents against, without risking being rate limited or blocked.
All in a beautiful native app. It weighs only 10MB and starts up super quickly and there is no tracking at all.
