Hoppscotch - HTTP client used for sending notifications through the Google API.

We began as a web-based API client at hoppscotch.io, where anyone can easily initiate API testing. Ever since then the Hoppscotch Desktop app has been a highly requested product by our community. We've been listening and are excited to announce that the day has finally arrived - today marks the launch of the public alpha version of the Hoppscotch Desktop App for macOS, Windows, and Linux!

We’re building an open-source Postman alternative.

The collective efforts and commitment of our team has led Hoppscotch towards remarkable improvements on its path to transforming the API development ecosystem. But, the speed of evolution we've experienced wouldn't have been possible without the open-source nature of Hoppscotch. A significant portion of our success is attributed to our dedicated contributors who have resolved existing issues, filed bug reports, authored blogs, created tutorials, and spread the word about Hoppscotch within their networks 🤝 .

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://hoppscotch.io/

- 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.
