- Mock & Map Local/Remote — Create custom responses or redirect traffic to local files or alternative endpoints instantly.
- Network Throttling — Inject delays, bandwidth limits or packet loss per rule to simulate real network conditions.
- DNS Override — Zero-intrusion domain resolution overrides without hosts-file changes.
- CLI / TUI — Full-feature terminal UI for remote or headless environments.
- AI Skills Integration — Connect Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini etc. to generate or modify rules via natural language.
