About Mockoon

Mockoon is an open-source tool for designing and running mock REST APIs. It provides a visual interface for creating mock endpoints and response configurations, and the homepage states it runs locally without remote deployment or an account. It supports dynamic templating, rules matching, JSON databases, and proxy mode with request recording and replay.

Mockoon Pro, which is in beta, adds self-hosted team collaboration, data synchronization, and managed mock deployments on the user's own infrastructure. The homepage describes Mockoon as local-first and states that Pro runs with no telemetry on the user's own infrastructure. These are the vendor's descriptions, and they do not guarantee any particular level of privacy or security.
