About Mockrew

A browser-native API mocking tool for Chrome.

Mockrew is a Chrome extension for mocking APIs while you build and debug web applications. It started from a simple frustration: to fake one endpoint you had to install a proxy, trust a certificate, configure a rewrite rule, and remember to turn it all off again.

Three principles

  • Local first. Interception, mocking and rule storage all happen inside your browser. Your API traffic is never uploaded, and the extension works without an account.
  • Declarative over scripted. Most cases should be a few fields, not a script. When a script really is needed, JS Hooks are available — but they are the exception, not the entry fee.
  • No surprises. Rules say exactly what they match and what they do; the panel tells you when a rule cannot take effect, and why.

What it does today

AreaCapability
MatchingContains, path params, exact and regex; conditions on query, headers, JSON body and GraphQL operations
ResponsesCustom status, delay and headers; static JSON, Faker templates, sequenced responses and JS Hooks
Network request layerHeader rewriting and redirects via declarativeNetRequest, covering every request type
ToolingRequest log with one-click rule creation; import from OpenAPI, Postman, cURL; project organisation and export

Pricing, honestly

The core toolkit is free. Pro exists to fund maintenance and the heavier features — sequenced responses, JS Hooks and unlimited rules and projects. Payments are handled by our merchant of record, so tax and invoicing are handled for you.
