The API-client built for developers. Open-source. Local Native git. Bruno stores collections on your filesystem which allows you to natively interact with git for collaboration and versioning.
It's truly the best in its category. It’s incredibly developer-friendly in every way. I find myself using it constantly now.
Bruno is the best http client I have ever used, I really appreciate the product. The best part about the bruno is it's text and filesystem-based tool!

Oh, it’s such a surprise to see Bruno here! I’ve been using it actively for my side projects for over a year now, and I must say it’s become my default API client. Postman is no longer on my list when I think of an API client.
To be honest, the feature that won me over is that Bruno collections can be part of the source code - a place where they belong naturally, in my opinion. But all the rest is working just fine, bringing a complete experience. So, if you’re keen to try something new and replace Postman/Insomnia and the cloud dependency they come with, I really do recommend Bruno.

@valkirilov Thanks, Valentin! Really appreciate your support and feedback. Completely agree that colocating collections alongside your source code (and API spec) unlocks something that hasn't been possible with other API clients. It's never made sense having a collection scattered in a different place needing to be maintained.

This is truly an unicorn, a post about something that doesn't have AI, LLMs, GenAI or related in ProductHunt in these days. What a great surprise to see Bruno here.

@jailandrade Ha! You said it not us, Mikhail! Appreciate the feedback and support :).

The "collection is just files you commit to git" model is the right call - I've had too many Postman workspaces get out of sync across a team because the state lived in someone's cloud account. No account requirement is a real selling point too, not just a checkbox feature. Adding this to my stack.
Three months ago, when I saw Bruno for the first time, the grass was greener and the sun was brighter. After an hour of using Bruno, I uninstalled Postman with all its guts. Since then I don't think about it, only sometimes in nightmares. I thank the great team for such a great tool, and all my friends and acquaintances have switched to it. Good luck with new projects.
Can you read env variables from a .env yet?
