CertMon puts trusted HTTPS on local development
A macOS menu bar app that gives local dev servers trusted .test addresses, port-443 routing, and mobile testing without manual certificate and proxy setup.
Field notes
The app combines a dedicated local root CA, macOS Login Keychain storage, .test DNS, and a port-443 reverse proxy rather than asking developers to assemble those pieces separately. Its routing model covers both subdomains and URL paths, while the page also describes WebSocket support for Vite, Next.js, and Webpack workflows. Mobile testing uses an exported Apple configuration profile, and teams can exchange a .localhttps.json site manifest to standardize hostnames.
