WebSocket Client
WebSocket Client is a standalone desktop application for macOS that provides a graphical interface for testing WebSocket connections without needing terminal commands or browser extensions. It allows developers to connect to WebSocket servers, send and receive messages, and inspect communication flow during development and debugging. The app is designed to be lightweight and integrate into a developer's workflow when needed while staying out of the way otherwise.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results provide very little information about the current state of WebSocket Client or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The oldest result (from 2019) mentions Intel 64-bit processor compatibility and references reviews describing bugs and crashes, but does not clarify the developer's current maintenance status or any Apple Silicon release. To determine your next step, contact AwayUp directly and ask whether they have shipped or plan to ship a native Apple Silicon build before macOS 28 ships in September 2028 — the deadline when Intel-only apps will stop launching entirely. In the meantime, consider evaluating actively maintained alternative WebSocket testing tools: Postman (free, with full native Apple Silicon support) now supports WebSocket connections in addition to REST/HTTP; or if you prefer a lightweight open-source option, wscat (a Node.js command-line tool, easy to install and use) and other terminal-based clients remain popular among developers who are comfortable with the command line.
