Thunder Client
The lightweight REST API client for your IDE — no context switching, local storage, and git sync.
Thunder Client is a lightweight REST API client extension for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, designed for developers to test APIs directly within their editor. It offers local storage for privacy, Git sync for team collaboration, and a scriptless GUI-based testing interface. It positions itself as a fast, easy-to-use alternative to tools like Postman.
Thunder Client runs as an IDE extension inside VS Code or JetBrains, allowing developers to test REST and GraphQL APIs locally with Git sync for team collaboration.
