Try Bruno - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno - Free and Opensource IDE for exploring and testing APIs - It is lightweight with MIT license - Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem - Use git for collaboration - No cloud sync.

I’ve been using https://insomnia.rest/ and it has everything you need and does not require you to log in
Sorry, but they pulled a Postman already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37680126 No reason to trust them at all at this point.
I have found Bruno ( https://github.com/usebruno/bruno ) to be a decent basic alternative with a nice bonus of being version control friendly, keep in mind that it's fresh and relatively unpolished though - for instance it doesn't ask you to save changes before closing the app.
Glad to see alternatives but disappointed that Bruno does not support OpenAPI specification. At my company, we hand-edit OpenAPI specs in YAML and it gets consumed by many tools that generate types[0], static analysis and dynamic checks[1]. The OpenAPI spec itself is linted[2]. And of course, Postman consumes OpenAPI. Tools that are built on open standards will naturally see greater adoption over those that use propr…

Also, Bruno now supports collection level headers, auth, scripts and tests

Fully offline is a lie. There is telemetry with no opt out.[1] And you should say lightweight compared to other Electron apps if you mean lightweight compared to other Electron apps.[2] [1] https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/issues/337 [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37697206
By Fully Offline, I meant to emphasize that we don't plan to plan to support online syncing of api collections to cloud.
lightweight is not just about electron, it's also about being mimimal without all the feature bloat that most people don't need.
Honestly I don't get the hate for electron.. Bruno got almost 50 PRs in the last week by community. We shipped a release every single day to all macOS, win, Linux.
New contributors are able to get the code up and running and contribute code within a day.
This is made possible by electron.

I would rather cycle thorough tools than deal with piss poor user experience of something like that.
Seriously, python with the requests lib in a jupyter notebook is always a nicer user experience than any REST API GUI, most importantly once it's grown a bit.

You said you would support disabling telemetry in the upcoming release several releases ago. And you could have disabled it temporarily or added a warning in less time than you spent trying to justify and deflect.
A fork bomb has minimal features. Is it lightweight?
Your reasons for using Electron are not reasons to make false claims.
People who know the stack can contribute code within a day. It is true for any stack.
You can give a try to Hurl [1], a CLI open source tool, based on plain text and curl. It allows you to run and test Rest/SOAP/GraphQL APIs (I'm one of the maintainer). There is no GUI, so Hurl is not a drop-in Postman replacement, but it has nice features: it can be easily integrated in CI/CD, it's fast and it's powered by curl! A detail: Hurl is given to the community by Orange, a French telco. Orange is not in the…
