Raycast extension
Toggle recording and the system proxy, search flows, flip settings and export HAR without leaving Raycast.
WireLens for Raycast puts the things you reach for most behind a keystroke.
| Command | What it does | Needs the app running |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle Recording | Starts or stops capture | Yes |
| Toggle System Proxy | Points this Mac's HTTP and HTTPS proxy at WireLens, or restores it | Yes |
| Search Flows | Searches host, path, method and status; opens a flow in WireLens or copies it as cURL | Only to open a flow |
| Toggle Setting | Decrypt HTTPS, breakpoints, HTTP/3, caching, pinned-host passthrough | No |
| Export HAR | Writes the capture to a .har file | No |
| Clear Captured Traffic | Deletes every captured flow, after confirming the count | Yes |
Settings take effect on the next request, because the proxy re-reads its configuration for every exchange. Nothing needs a restart.
How it works#
Every command runs the wirelens command line tool. The extension never opens the capture store itself, which keeps it from ever interfering with a capture in progress, and anything that changes capture state is a request to the app, the same way the command line does it. With WireLens closed, those commands say so and offer to open it.
The extension looks for the tool in this order: its own preference, $WIRELENS_CLI, /usr/local/bin/wirelens, /opt/homebrew/bin/wirelens, then inside WireLens.app in /Applications or ~/Applications.
Availability#
The extension is being prepared for the Raycast Store. This page will link to it as soon as it is listed.
