Developer and Founder - RESTLab

About

Hi, I’m Emmanuel Job, the developer behind RESTLab. I’m building it to help developers spend less time switching tools and more time understanding their APIs. RESTLab brings API testing, Kafka browsing and message publishing, load testing, and passive security checks into one desktop app. My goal is to make these capabilities accessible without licensing restrictions, supported by optional donations. My ambition is to grow RESTLab into a dependable tool shaped by the developers who use it. I’d love your feedback on what works, what’s missing, and what would make your daily workflow easier.

RESTLab - API testing, Kafka browsing, and security checks in one app

RESTLab is a desktop app for testing APIs, exploring Kafka, and checking API security. Work with REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and gRPC, browse and publish Kafka messages, run load tests, and inspect responses—all in one place. Organize requests into collections, switch environments, and review request history. All features are available without licensing restrictions, with optional donations supporting development. Try RESTLab and share what would make your API workflow easier.
