Bruno
Opensource IDE For Exploring and Testing API's (lightweight alternative to Postman/Insomnia)
winget install --id=Bruno.Bruno -eDescription
Bruno is a fast, Git-friendly, and open-source API client, aimed at revolutionizing the status quo represented by Postman, Insomnia and similar tools out there. Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem. We use a plain text markup language, Bru, to save information about API requests. You can use git or any version control of your choice to collaborate over your API collections. Bruno is offline-only. There are no plans to add cloud-sync to Bruno, ever.
Bruno is available through winget as package ID Bruno.Bruno, with version 3.4.1. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
