The Postman alternative you'll love

Offline, modern, open source, and extendable. Get started instantly by importing your data from Postman, Insomnia, or OpenAPI.

Out of all of them, I think this is my favourite for now. A clean and simple interface, focused on the core activities. It is local first and doesn't need an account.

First it was Postman, then insomnia was the new kid in the block, these two suckers got old and smell corpo from miles away, it is time now for yaak.app

I like the feature where you can paste in curl examples and it formats it right into the client for use. The guy who made Insomnia started Yaak.

My go-to tool for testing APIs as I build them. The interface is clean and much nicer to use than bloated alternatives like Insomnia and Postman.

★★★★★
I’m blown away by how much better it is compared to Postman or Insomnia. It’s incredibly fast, clean, and reliable, which has made managing our APIs effortless.
