Bruno
Bruno is an open-source, git-native API client designed for developers who prefer storing API collections as human-readable, plain-text files directly inside their code repositories. Operating completely locally without forced cloud synchronization, accounts, or logins, it integrates seamlessly with version control systems, IDEs, and terminal workflows. By keeping request data locally on your machine, it ensures data privacy and allows teams to collaborate on APIs using standard git branch, diff, and review processes.
