What you actually get
Build forwarding rules that fan a single incoming webhook out to your local dev box, staging, and Slack — based on event type, status, headers, or any custom condition. Toggle rules on and off without losing config. Pair with the CLI tunnel to forward straight to localhost without ngrok.
- Forward to any http:// or https:// destination
- Per-rule timeout and exponential backoff
- CLI tunnel for direct-to-localhost forwarding
- Toggle rules without losing configuration
Why it matters
Built for the moments where minutes turn into hours.
Retries with backoff
Configurable timeout and exponential backoff per rule.
No tunnel sprawl
