Everything you need and more.

We focus on the essentials so you can focus on what matters.

Protect your data from competitors

Protecting your data from prying competitors is crucial to the success of any project. While other tools may leak sensitive information, Mockend offers the unique option to make your fake online API completely private and hidden from the rest of the internet. This ensures the confidentiality of your project and safeguards your competitive advantage.

No risk of supply-chain attacks

We never read your project source code, as GitHub only allows us access to your config file and nothing more. Unlike other tools that require local installation and leave you vulnerable to supply-chain attacks, you can trust that your project is in safe hands with Mockend.

Interactive docs and online demos

Create functional online documentation and demos effortlessly with Mockend. Eliminate the need to host a server and simply make requests from your static site or mobile app to Mockend. This frees up valuable time to focus on what truly matters - delivering value to your users.

Keep your environment clean

Enjoy a clean environment with Mockend. Unlike other tools that require local installation and clutter your project with extraneous packages and code, Mockend can be accessed entirely online. This ensures your project stays clean and free of unnecessary bloat, allowing you to focus on writing great code.

Immutable data

With Mockend's immutable data architecture, you can ensure that your initial dataset remains protected from modifications by users or hackers. This provides a reliable development environment that allows you to focus on building great products without worrying about constantly resetting or cleaning your data.

Persistent data

Alternatively, data in Mockend can be written to a temporary storage and persisted between calls if desired. However, the data can also be easily reset or deleted if needed. [Coming soon]

Use cases.

Mockend is a versatile tool that can be used for a wide range of purposes. Here are some of the most common use cases.

- Mockend has streamlined our API development process and enabled us to collaborate more efficiently. Instead of spending countless hours in meetings with backend, frontend, devops, and managers, we can now be autonomous and use GitHub Pull Requests to mock and discuss API fields asynchronously. The result? We've saved weeks of cumulated man hours and can focus on delivering high-quality products faster.

  CEO
- Mockend has allowed me to focus solely on teaching the frontend development in my courses. With both REST and GraphQL options available, I can easily showcase the benefits of each to my students, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of modern mobile app development.
  Daniel
  Mobile App Instructor
- We're a UX-focused agency that frequently showcases prototypes to clients who handle their own backend development. With Mockend, we have access to realistic data and APIs that can be quickly customized to meet their needs. This ensures a smooth demo experience and happy clients.
  Isabella
  UX Agency
- Startups rely on short iteration cycles and agile experimentation to achieve success. With Mockend, we can rapidly test and validate our ideas, quickly determining what works and what doesn't. This allows us to confidently showcase our progress to investors and move forward with developing the real product once we have a validated concept.
  Xavier
  Founder
- Our documentation was previously lacking real examples that users could interact with, hindering their ability to fully understand our API. However, with Mockend's immutability, we can now add live examples without the fear of users disrupting our API. This provides our users with a more immersive and valuable experience, ultimately improving their understanding and utilization of our platform.
  Emma
  Technical writer
- As someone who isn't a fullstack developer, I often need to collaborate with backend freelancers. With Mockend, I can effortlessly create a fake API that can be shared with the backend team and discussed on GitHub, improving our workflow and ensuring we're always on the same page. By validating our real API with Mockend first, we can guarantee a smooth and efficient process, saving valuable time and resources.
