h00k.dev - Inspect webhooks in real-time, use AI-powered mocks and more
byβ’
Hi, I'm Stefano π
Welcome to h00k.dev, a modern webhook inspector for developers π§
Receive and analyze webhooks in real time, format JSON/XML payloads π, save snapshots πΈ, replay requests, and use tools like encoders, decoders, and mock responses π€.
Simple to use, powerful for debugging, perfect for anyone working with APIs π.

β¨ What inspired me to create h00k.dev
I built h00k.dev because I was tired of using basic webhook inspectors that only show raw payloads and nothing more.
While working on multiple API integrations, I kept missing a tool that was developer-friendly, fast, and equipped with the utilities I needed every day β formatting, decoding, snapshots, retries, mock responses.
So I decided to create the tool I always wished existed.
π§ What problems does it solve?
h00k.dev solves the real issues developers face when working with webhooks:
Switching between too many tools to debug one request
No easy way to save or share webhook conversations
Lack of built-in utilities (JSON/XML formatting, encoders, decoders)
Hard to replay or simulate events during testing
It makes debugging simpler, faster, and actually enjoyable.
π How my approach evolved during the launch
At first, I only wanted a cleaner webhook inspector.
But as I built it, I realized developers need much more:
tools, snapshots, retries, forwarding, AI mocks, stable bins, and a clean UI.
My process shifted from βbuild an inspectorβ to βbuild a full developer companion for webhook integrationsβ.
I kept refining the UX, improving performance, focusing on real workflows, and designing a product that feels smooth, consistent, and powerful.
