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

Routebase serves as the definitive reference point for your APIs, allowing you to create your OpenAPI specification in a visual editor without the need for manual YAML editing. This single specification not only generates your documentation portal but also powers mock servers, facilitates contract testing, and enables monitoring systems, all stemming from that original design. When you modify the contract and publish it, Routebase proactively identifies any discrepancies before your users encounter them by validating real-time responses against the specification and highlighting every inconsistency with detailed field-level differences, such as missing fields, type errors, or unexpected additions. You can manage specifications just like you would with code: branch, review, and merge, while also detecting any breaking changes prior to deployment. You have the option to publish a documentation portal on a personalized domain, create realistic mock environments for simultaneous frontend and backend development, and perform contract and security tests in any setting. Additionally, each workspace includes a built-in MCP server, enabling your AI agents to access and act upon the same reliable source of truth, all while adhering to your team’s permission settings—eliminating the need for intermediary code. This ensures all team members can collaborate seamlessly and maintain alignment throughout the development process.
