Requestly

Requestly is a lightweight API client designed for modern development teams who want full control over their API workflows. Built as a local-first alternative to Postman, Requestly keeps your data on your machine — not locked in the cloud. Collections are stored as files and can be git-controlled, so teams can version, branch, and collaborate on API collections the same way they work with code. Requestly is AI-native, with built-in intelligence to help developers write requests, generate tests, and debug APIs faster. It supports REST and GraphQL with schema introspection, pre/post request scripts, environment variables, and a collection runner for batch testing. Unlike Postman, Requestly offers generous free-tier features including team collaboration with shared workspaces, role-based access control, and one-click Postman migration. No login is required to get started. Trusted by 300,000+ developers at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Adobe.

Requestly is a lightweight desktop API client that allows users to design, build, and test APIs in one integrated platform. It offers features for organizing API requests, managing security, and automating tests, ensuring that developers can handle APIs efficiently without relying on cloud services. Users can download the lightweight desktop application for macOS, Windows, or Linux. They can create local projects, organize API requests into collections, and utilize features like pre/post scripts for dynamic testing. Requestly supports import from tools like Postman, allowing for easy migration, while maintaining data privacy through local storage. Requestly is tailored for developers who prefer a local, Git-native API client that offers comprehensive tools without the bloat. It serves teams large and small, especially those who need to manage their API requests securely and collaboratively.
