MQTT Loupe Pro is an intuitive utility to inspect and manage MQTT traffic exchanged on an MQTT broker. Connect to any public or local MQTT broker, subscribe to topics, view details of messages being transmitted and publish new messages to any topic.
Don't remember that one message or topic? Fire up the search to find it instantly using full-text search through all topics, and results updating live with new hits appearing as they arrive.
With built-in JSON highlighting for viewing and sending this app is perfect for monitoring and managing Zigbee2Mqtt. JSON-aware auto-completion when publishing JSON messages makes it even easier. And if you need to work with binary message payloads, the built-in hex viewer has you covered. Got frequently used topics that are further down the hierarchy? Make them favorites for easy and instant access!
Concerned about security? Let the server's certificate be validated before connecting; you don't have to allow insecure connections based on untrusted certificates. Need more? Provide a client certificate to authenticate yourself against the server.

I've tried many MQTT client apps but the GUI is usually counter-intuitive or just user-unfriendly.
MQTT Loupe is a welcome exception to that and I had no trouble connecting to my own MQTT server, and receiving messages. It's also good to have logging to diagnose connections. I haven't used the certificates option yet but don't expect any issues. I particularly like the JSON presentation which again is clear and laid out with the user in mind.
