Docs / Capturing Traffic

The Main Window

A three-pane layout: sidebar tree, request list, and detail tabs.

MinPin main window showing the sidebar, request list, and split Request/Response detail — The MinPin main window: sidebar, request list, and the split Request/Response detail.

The main window has three panes:

Sidebar (left): a tree of captured traffic grouped by Domains or by client Apps, plus a Bookmarks tab (⌘3, ⌘2, ⌘1). See Filtering & Search to narrow it down.
Request list (right): every captured request with URL, method, status, client, time, size, and duration columns. Color-coded by status.
Detail (below the list): the selected request's Request and Response side by side, each with its own tabs (WebSocket and SSE requests get a frame or event viewer). A summary bar shows method, status, and URL.

Toolbar

Record/pause, the Security dashboard, the Waterfall view toggle, Compose, clear all, and the sidebar and detail-pane toggles live in the toolbar. Breakpoints, rewrite rules, and the block list are in the Tools menu. The listening port (127.0.0.1:8080 by default) is shown in the center.

TipRight-click a request → Open in New Window to inspect it in its own window, or hide the detail pane with View → Toggle Detail Panel (⌘⇧J).
