Altair GraphQL Client

brew install --cask altair-graphql-client v8.5.7

GUI client for testing and exploring GraphQL APIs with query editor and variable management.

Why you might care

Altair is a feature-rich, cross-platform GraphQL IDE that's lighter than running GraphQL in a full IDE. It offers a dedicated interface for composing queries, inspecting schema documentation, managing variables, and debugging responses—ideal for API developers and QA engineers working with GraphQL endpoints.
