About HookSense
HookSense is a real-time webhook inspector, debugger, and replay tool built for developers. It captures incoming HTTP webhook requests at a unique URL and displays them instantly via WebSocket streaming. Developers use HookSense to test integrations with Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and any HTTP webhook provider.
The Problem
Every developer who has worked with webhooks knows the pain: you set up a Stripe webhook, push to production, and something breaks. Was the payload wrong? Did the signature fail? Is it even hitting your endpoint? You end up tailing logs, adding print statements, and refreshing dashboards — wasting hours on what should take minutes.
The Solution
HookSense gives you a dedicated URL that captures every incoming webhook in real-time. You see headers, body, query params, and timing — instantly. You can replay requests, verify HMAC signatures, set custom responses, and forward events to your local machine with our CLI. No more guessing.
Who Built This
HookSense is built by Ozer, a software developer based in Istanbul, Turkey. After years of dealing with webhook debugging across different projects — Stripe integrations, GitHub CI pipelines, Shopify apps — I decided to build the tool I always wished existed.
