Xplorer

We work with many large enterprise customers (banking, insurance, healthcare) who use our open-source framework, Karate. Over the last few years, we noticed a recurring concern among their security teams: developers were inadvertently syncing sensitive API collections, environment variables, and secrets to third-party clouds (like Postman’s) just to use the tool. For many of these orgs, having internal API endpoints and auth tokens sitting on someone else's server is a compliance nightmare and a massive security vector. They need an "escape hatch" – a local-first developer tool. They wish to continue using collections that evolved over years, without disruption. So we built Xplorer. - The Security Premise: Xplorer is architected to be 100% Local. It is not a web-app wrapper that depends on the cloud, it is a true desktop app that uses your file-system. - No Cloud Sync: Your collections and secrets never leave your machine. - No Accounts: No login required. No identity tracking. - No Telemetry: We don’t track usage. This is critical for air-gapped or high-security environments. - The Migration Path: We know teams won't switch if they must rewrite or migrate anything. Xplorer runs Postman collections and environments as-is. There is no migration step. We emulate even JavaScript APIs so that your pre-request scripts and tests run without modification. - Business Model (Transparency):We are building a sustainable business without monetizing user data. Free: The core client (running collections, importing, scripting, local environment management) is perpetually free. - Paid: We charge for features that solve "enterprise-scale" problems which includes OpenAPI and Swagger support, CI/CD and CLI runners, HTML reports, Git-friendliness (exploding collections into folders and files), and parallel execution. If your security team has been clamping down on cloud-based API tools, or if you just want a simpler, local-first and cross-platform alternative to what you currently use, give Xplorer a try.
