bruno
Alternative to Postman
Bruno is a desktop application for API testing and debugging. It saves API requests as Git-friendly text files, enabling natural version control and team collaboration through existing Git workflows.
- File-based storage saving API collections as text files (Bru format) ideal for Git versioning
- Offline-first operation with no cloud sync required, working entirely on the local filesystem
- Pre/post-request scripting with JavaScript for dynamic request modification
- Environment variables for switching between development, staging, and production
- Assertion-based API tests for automated request validation
- Collection import from Postman and Insomnia formats
Built with Electron and React, Bruno serves as a Postman alternative for developers and teams who prefer keeping API data local rather than in the cloud.
