APPLE TV · TVOS

Set up a proxy on Apple TV
in seconds.

The quest is over — setting up traffic capture on Apple TV used to be an hour of lost pairings and manual profiles. ProxyBeam makes it three moves: drag, copy, open.

Download for Mac Free · macOS 15+
01Save the root certificate from your proxy — Charles, Proxyman, or any other
02Drop the .cer into ProxyBeam and copy the generated profile link
03Open the link on the device and trust the certificate — done

One prerequisite: tvOS only accepts a device-wide proxy profile on a supervised Apple TV — a one-time setup with Apple Configurator.

GOOD TO KNOW
Runs entirely on your Mac

ProxyBeam hosts the profile on a local server in your Wi-Fi network. No cloud service, no account, no telemetry.

Standard configuration profile

The generated .mobileconfig is a regular Apple profile: it sets the device-wide HTTP proxy and installs your proxy's root certificate — you enable trust for it yourself on the device. A device-wide proxy profile installs only on a supervised Apple TV — a one-time setup with Apple Configurator.

Same Wi-Fi, proxy running

While the profile is installed, the Apple TV routes its HTTP(S) traffic to your Mac — both must stay on the same network and the proxy app must be running.

Works with any proxy

Charles Proxy, Proxyman, mitmproxy — ProxyBeam works with any debugging proxy that can export a .cer root certificate.
