Mocka - A Mock Server for Developers by Developers
summary
Mocka is a macOS mock server app that actually embeds a Vapor HTTP server and stores routes as editable JSON files in a git-backed workspace, built with SwiftUI, Combine, Vapor. It serves JSON, HTML, TXT, CSV (images/PDF planned), supports a wildcard component for variable URL segments, and switches response files or status codes instantly. Performance tweaks cut list-tap latency from ~5s to 0.3s by splitting read/write views and using a drawing-group optimization; a custom buffered subject fixes missed console logs. Mocka is open source on GitHub.
