Postman

brew install --cask postman v12.15.6

HTTP client and platform for designing, testing, and documenting APIs with team collaboration features.

Why you might care

Postman is the de facto standard for API development and testing. It offers an intuitive GUI for making requests, organizing collections, and writing automated tests—much easier than curl for most developers. Free tier covers individual use; paid plans add team features like shared workspaces and version control.
