macOS support	macOS	Use Subtrace in your macOS development environment	apple

Subtrace has experimental support for developers on macOS.

Start your backend service the way you normally do. We'll assume it's running on port 8000 in this guide. Open a terminal and download the latest version of Subtrace:

```bash
curl -fSLO "https://subtrace.dev/download/$(uname -s)/$(uname -m)/subtrace" && chmod +x ./subtrace
```

Run the Subtrace proxy on port 9000. All requests sent to port 9000 will be forwarded to 8000:

```bash
./subtrace proxy 9000:8000
```

Open the `subt.link` URL in your browser. Then send some API requests to port 9000 and watch them appear in the dashboard:
