It includes two main components: a Rust-based certificate-trusting helper app that marks the mitmproxy CA as trusted in the system keychain, and a macOS Network System Extension app bundle that handles traffic redirection at the network level.\n\nThe package is designed to be used alongside mitmproxy itself, providing the native macOS integration layer that allows mitmproxy to function as a system-wide proxy. It requires Python 3.12 or later and is maintained as part of the mitmproxy project. The package contains only precompiled binaries and has no Python runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are running mitmproxy on macOS and need native system integration. The package is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, and uses a permissive MIT license. It is essential for mitmproxy's macOS functionality rather than optional, so the decision hinges on whether you need mitmproxy itself on that platform."},"id":"mitmproxy-macos","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mitmproxy-macos","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mitmproxy-macos.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mitmproxy-macos/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-20","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mitmproxy-macos","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":165315,"position":10526,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.12.11"}
