About
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.
Problem
Developers need an API client that works locally with Git instead of forcing cloud sync, accounts, and bloated platform lock-in.
For
software developers and engineering teams
How it works
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.
