01
Open on a tab
Start Ruse on the browser tab you are testing. The workspace stays focused on that current tab.
Chrome extension for local API mocks
Keep API mocks organized
Ruse watches the tab you are testing, captures real requests, and turns any log URL into a local mock rule. Collections keep your scenarios tidy.
The core loop
From current tab to organized mocks.
02
Click a request
Click a URL in Logs and Ruse opens a draft with method, path, status, and response shape already started.
03
Organize rules
Save the mock into a collection or keep it ungrouped. Your local rules stay tidy as scenarios grow.
Launch-ready proof
Local mocks, now with collections.
Ruse stays intentionally focused: current-tab capture, local rules, click-to-draft creation, and simple collection organization for the mocks you actually use.
Current-tab workflow
Ruse attaches to the tab where you open it. Switch away and it asks whether to return or make the current tab active.
Collections for local rules
Group related mocks into up to 3 local collections, rename them, delete them, or move rules back to ungrouped.
Local-first by default
Rules and logs live in browser storage for the core workflow. No login, no cloud sync, no surprise backend.
Before install
Questions developers ask before installing.
Does Ruse send my request logs to a server?
No for the core workflow. Request logs and rules are handled in your browser storage.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. Install the extension, open it on the tab you are testing, and create local rules.
What is the main workflow?
Capture a request from the current working tab, click its URL, create a prefilled mock rule, and organize it into a collection.
What can I organize?
Up to 20 local rules and 3 local collections, enough for focused frontend and QA scenarios without extra setup.
Mock your next API response and keep the rules tidy.
Free local workflow. Current-tab capture. Local collections. No account.
