bloomrpc VS Kreya

Why another one? I'm working with gRPC every day and for my opinion all existed GUI clients do not well designed or do not have fully gRPC features support. And some of them like BloomRPC unfortunately are unmaintained.

There’s also BloomRPC, which is like Postman/Insomnia for GRPC:

https://github.com/bloomrpc/bloomrpc

Can recommend bloomrpc is good GUI Client for GRPC Services. Grpc service handlers:

I would like to introduce you to a gRPC client tool(pgt) for your own use, it is used similarly to postman/bloomrpc.

Hey! Not at all. There is a wonderful tool called BloomRPC I mainly use this. Very recently Postman announced that they will support gRPC too. Postman Blog

The best alternative I found is BloomRPC

You can also play with the gRPC API, the nicest interface I found was Bloomrpc. Have fun!

Looks very nice; I've also given up with Postman. gRPC support would probably get Bruno into my daily workflow immediately. I spent a couple hours in Postman trying to get gRPC to work and could not- the .proto files were never used successfully, and I had better experiences with Kreya [0] and grpcui [1].

Kreya [1] can do that. It is even optimized for it, so that diffs should be perfectly readable.

As one of the creators, I can recommmend https://kreya.app. It is not open source (like Postman), but has a strong focus on privacy and also stores the data locally.

As it has more powerful features (IMO) than most alternatives listed here, I am a little disappointed that it isn't mentioned more often.

There is also https://kreya.app, which has more features, but is closed-source

Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives.

For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC.

Does anyone have a better solution?

These are some options I've looked into:

- https://hurl.dev/

- https://recipeui.com/

- https://kreya.app/

- https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

[0] - https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/6585

[1] - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno

If you need gRPC, I can recommend https://kreya.app/

I like Kreya (kreya.app), but I am biased, since I am one of the creators :)

Have you tried Kreya? While it does not support all of the many features of Postman, it has some innovative features. While also being web-based, it uses the native WebView of the OS, resulting in less RAM-usage than Electron based apps.
