Bruno

brew install --cask bruno v3.4.2

Open-source API client for testing REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket endpoints with Git-native storage.

Why you might care

Bruno is free, fully open-source, and stores all requests as plain text in Git repositories—no vendor lock-in or cloud syncing required. It's ideal for developers who want API testing integrated directly into their version control workflow and prefer local-first tools over SaaS platforms.
