Bruno
The Git-native API client for REST, GraphQL, gRPC and Websocket
Bruno is an open-source, local-first API client for REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket testing. It stores collections as plain text files on the filesystem, enabling version control via Git without any cloud syncing or account requirements. Positioned as a developer-focused alternative to Postman, it emphasizes security, privacy, and seamless integration with existing developer workflows.
Bruno stores API collections as folders and plain text files on your local filesystem, allowing them to be version-controlled, co-located with codebases, and shared via Git or any file transfer method—no cloud or login required.
