Description

Bruno is a developer-first, open-source API client that’s redefining what an API tool should be. Built from the ground up for speed, privacy, and simplicity, Bruno offers everything developers need to explore, test, and document APIs without the cloud lock-in, telemetry, or bloat that’s become standard elsewhere. Instead of chasing “platform” status, Bruno focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well: being a pure API client. It’s completely local... all your requests, environments, and collections stay on your machine. Nothing is uploaded or tracked. The result is a faster, safer, and more transparent workflow that developers actually enjoy using. Bruno is also Git-native, meaning collections live in plain text and can be versioned, diffed, and reviewed just like code. Branching, merging, and pull requests all just work — no proprietary formats or walled gardens. For teams that already use GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, Bruno slots right in with zero friction. Under the hood, Bruno supports Postman and Swagger imports, test scripting in JavaScript, a powerful CLI, VS Code extension, and CI/CD integration for automated API testing. Since its launch in 2022, Bruno has seen explosive community growth: over 2.5 million downloads, 150,000+ daily users, and 37,000+ GitHub stars. Trusted by engineers at Microsoft, Capital One, GitHub, and FedEx, Bruno is proving that developer tools don’t need a cloud backend to scale , they just need to respect how developers actually work. In short: Bruno is what the API client should have been all along ... local, fast, Git-based, and open-source.

Description

Craft, troubleshoot, and evaluate APIs with a human touch rather than a mechanical approach. At last, a workflow that you'll genuinely appreciate. Introducing the Collaborative API Design Tool, which provides a platform for creating, validating, and overseeing OpenAPI specifications. This Desktop API client facilitates interactions with both REST and GraphQL. You can make requests and analyze responses seamlessly. Effortlessly create and organize your requests, set up environment variables, manage authentication, produce code snippets, and much more. Dive deep into response details—explore the entire request timeline, including status codes, body, headers, cookies, and additional information. Organize your project with workspaces, folders, and environments, utilizing a drag-and-drop interface for requests, along with straightforward data import and export options. Within a single collaborative API design editor, you can create, modify, lint, troubleshoot, preview, and manage your OpenAPI specifications. Additionally, generate configurations for popular API gateways such as the Kong API Gateway and Kong for Kubernetes. Synchronize your API designs with version control systems like GitHub or GitLab, and deploy directly to API gateways such as Kong with just a click, streamlining your development process significantly. This tool not only enhances productivity but also fosters collaboration among teams in designing robust APIs.
