Chrome extension for local API mocks
Ruse turns browser request logs into local mock rules. Click a URL, confirm the response, and keep testing without touching your backend.


One click from request to mock

Choose the browser tab you want to inspect. Ruse keeps the workflow focused on the page you are actually testing.

Open the log, click the URL you want to mock, and start from the captured method and path instead of a blank form.

Fill the response body, headers, status, and delay. Your local rule is ready for the next reload.
Launch-ready proof
Ruse avoids broad future promises in v0.1.0. The launch version is a small, honest tool for turning captured HTTP requests into local mock rules.
No account, billing, teams, or cloud sync in the first release. Ruse focuses on fast local rule creation.
The free launch version stays intentionally small, clear, and easy to understand before paid workflows arrive.
The website and Chrome Web Store visuals match the extension users install, including logs, rules, filters, and rule creation.

Before install
No. The v0.1.0 extension is local-first. Request logs and rules are handled in your browser.
No account is required for the first release. Install the extension, select a tab, and create local rules.
Capture a request from the selected tab, click its URL, and create a mock rule with prefilled fields.
Not yet. The first release is intentionally narrow: local HTTP mock rules from browser requests.
Ruse is in alpha and going through Chrome Web Store review. Leave your email and we will invite early testers first.
