Tracexy
Rockxy LLC · Native macOS network analysis with session, process and packet evidence.
Tracexy is a Networking app for Mac. It needs macOS 14 or later.
About
Tracexy is a native macOS network analysis app. It captures live traffic or opens saved PCAP/PCAPNG files, groups traffic into sessions, and helps investigate hosts, processes, protocols, timing and raw packet evidence. Captures and derived session data stay on the Mac unless explicitly exported.
Installation: requires macOS 14 or later. Install with brew install --cask tracexy, or download the official DMG and place Tracexy.app in Applications. Opening saved captures needs no privileged helper; live capture requires one-time approval of the privileged helper.
The public source edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later. Community is free; optional paid Pro licenses add features. Official distributions may carry separate commercial terms. Tracexy captures traffic passively rather than acting as an HTTPS interception proxy.
