A lightweight Postman alternative, no account required

Send requests without an account

• The first launch asks whether to work locally or connect an account; local mode has every client feature.
• Collections, environments, cookies and history live in a local SQLite file, so the app works with the network off.
• On its own it only checks for updates, at most once a day, and downloads a new version when there is one; both can be switched off. It sends no analytics.

Create a collection, add a request, type a URL, press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter — the quick start walks through those four steps.

What imports from Postman

Export the collection as Collection v2.1 and import the file from the sidebar header or from a collection's context menu.

• Imported: folders (as nested collections), requests with name, method, URL, headers, body, auth and description, and saved responses. A request without its own auth inherits it from its folder or collection, as in Postman. Collection variables become an environment named after the collection. Environments come as separate files; disabled variables stay disabled and secret ones stay secret.
• Moved by hand: form-data files and binary bodies are picked again.
• Scripts: come across when you tick Import scripts. Tetiva runs them on goja and implements pm in part: pm.environment, pm.collectionVariables, pm.variables, pm.request.headers, pm.response, pm.test, pm.expect, btoa and console.* work; pm.sendRequest, pm.globals and require() do not. The migration guide has the full mapping.

v1.3.1

Four protocols in one window

• HTTP. Query parameters from the URL fill the Params tab, and edits in the table go back into the URL; every header has its own checkbox; Content-Type follows the body type; cookies live in a per-workspace jar.
• gRPC. Schema over server reflection or from .proto files (a file or a directory); Generate Example builds a sample message; the token goes in metadata; a grpcs:// address goes over TLS. Details on the gRPC client page and in the docs.
• GraphQL. Load Schema runs introspection, the editor completes fields and underlines what the schema will not accept; picking an operation generates a body with variables.
• WebSocket. An address, Connect, a live log with expandable payloads; the log is kept only while the tab is open.
