- The Services screen can identify listening processes by port and PID, then map them directly to a .localhost name.
Field notes
Services can be discovered by local listening port and PID, then mapped to *.localhost names; the reverse proxy routes those names, while the forward proxy can redirect, rewrite, mock, or record traffic. Workspaces are file-based and git-backed, and the page says the desktop app, CLI, and browser extension use the same engine and workspace. The homepage labels v0.4.0 as a Windows download, while several protocol workflows are described as coming in v0.5.0.
