Bruno

Bruno is an open-source API client that's gaining traction as a lightweight alternative to Postman. What sets it apart is its "collections as code" philosophy - API collections are stored in plain text files that can be version controlled, making it a natural fit for developer workflows.

The tool offers a fast, native desktop experience with a clean interface and features like environment variables, request chaining, and scripting support. While it's relatively new and the ecosystem is still growing, Bruno's git-friendly approach and focus on developer experience make it worth evaluating, especially for teams already embracing Infrastructure as Code principles.

Use cases

Bruno can be used for API development and testing.
