The Busymate dashboard is the real-time web viewer where every request and response from every connected device lands the instant it happens. It lives at dash.busymate.net.
Think of it as a Charles- or Proxyman-style network inspector that lives in your browser and follows your whole fleet at once. The moment one of your devices makes an HTTP(S) call, the request/response pair streams into the live feed — no refresh, no polling, no gaps. From there you can read headers and bodies, pause and edit traffic mid-flight, replay any request, organize hosts into named services, and push settings back to your devices in real time.
What it shows
Everything in the dashboard is sourced from one place: your captured traffic, stored and fanned out live. Whatever a device captures — an iPhone on the VPN tunnel, a browser routed through the proxy, or a Chrome instance traced over the DevTools Protocol — shows up here within moments, attributed to the device that produced it.
- A live feed of every request/response, color-coded by status, sortable and searchable across your entire history.
- A per-device split so you can scope the feed to one device, one service, or one domain.
- Full inspection of headers, bodies (pretty-printed by content type), and timing for any request.
- Control — pause/edit/continue requests, resend any captured call, and push settings to devices live.
How the traffic gets here
The dashboard renders traffic; it doesn't capture it. Three capture clients feed it:
- BusymateHelper for iOS — a system-wide VPN tunnel that decrypts HTTPS for the hosts you choose.
- The web proxy-server — a Charles-style MITM proxy for browsers, Android, and your own backends.
- The CDP connector —
bmc, which traces an existing Chrome instance over the DevTools Protocol (no proxy, no CA).
Each capture is attributed to the device that made it; the per-device attribution model is what keeps the feed and every counter scoped correctly.
Start here
- Sign in — get into the dashboard and understand what you can see.
- The feed — read the live request/response stream: columns, sorting, search, and the device split.
- Inspect requests & HAR — open a request, read its bodies, and export/import HAR.
Tip: New to Busymate? Pair a device first (Devices), then watch its traffic land in the feed.
