Launch HN: Kampala (YC W26) – Reverse-engineering apps into APIs

·2026.04.17 00:19

Key point

It intercepts traffic from web, mobile, and desktop apps and automates it like an API.

Details

Kampala is a MITM proxy tool for reverse engineering and automating app and web flows.

  • Real-time traffic interception: See all HTTP/S requests happening from any app or browser.
  • Auth chain tracing: Automatically traces tokens, cookies, sessions, and multi-step request flows to map out the authentication path.
  • Flow replay & export: Replay captured sequences and export them into more stable automation workflows.
  • Fingerprint preservation: Preserves the original client's HTTP/TLS fingerprint so intercepted traffic keeps behaving like the original.

Currently a download for Mac is available, with Windows on a waitlist. Support is provided via Discord.
