Reinventing the API Client | Local, Native Git, Open Source

The API-client built for developers. Open-source. Local Native git. Bruno stores collections on your filesystem which allows you to natively interact with git for collaboration and versioning.
Absolutely fell in love with this application after using the famous alternative which has gotten sluggish and bloated. I started a new job and immediately imported the collections into Bruno without much issue and have been using that instead. Never want to go back to to that other client.
It's truly the best in its category. It’s incredibly developer-friendly in every way. I find myself using it constantly now.
Bruno is the best http client I have ever used, I really appreciate the product. The best part about the bruno is it's text and filesystem-based tool!

Oh, it’s such a surprise to see Bruno here! I’ve been using it actively for my side projects for over a year now, and I must say it’s become my default API client. Postman is no longer on my list when I think of an API client.
To be honest, the feature that won me over is that Bruno collections can be part of the source code - a place where they belong naturally, in my opinion. But all the rest is working just fine, bringing a complete experience. So, if you’re keen to try something new and replace Postman/Insomnia and the cloud dependency they come with, I really do recommend Bruno.

@valkirilov Thanks, Valentin! Really appreciate your support and feedback. Completely agree that colocating collections alongside your source code (and API spec) unlocks something that hasn't been possible with other API clients. It's never made sense having a collection scattered in a different place needing to be maintained.
Three months ago, when I saw Bruno for the first time, the grass was greener and the sun was brighter. After an hour of using Bruno, I uninstalled Postman with all its guts. Since then I don't think about it, only sometimes in nightmares. I thank the great team for such a great tool, and all my friends and acquaintances have switched to it. Good luck with new projects.
Can you read env variables from a .env yet?

@school_4_ants - Hey Hunter! Yes, since 2023! https://docs.usebruno.com/secrets-management/dotenv-file
The best API-client for me!

@khlebobul Thanks, Gleb! Love the support. What makes Bruno the best for you? Anything you'd like to see us add?
@real_ryan_reynolds I think all my favorite features have been mentioned by @valkirilov. I can only add that I like to use Open Source projects
