Bruno

Offline-first, git-friendly API client — collections live in your repo.

What is Bruno?

Bruno stores API collections as plain-text files (its Bru markup) directly in your filesystem, so they version with git like any other code — no cloud account, no sync. It is open source and has become the favorite Postman alternative for teams who want API definitions in the repository.
