Native lightweight API client for macOS
A minimal API debugger for the agent era that never installs plugins or edits your config
- Problem
- Mainstream API clients like Postman have become bloated and even install plugins and modify configs for Codex/Claude Code in the background, triggering developer backlash. Some want a native, tiny, no-cloud API client that accepts curl pastes, imports collections and does assertions, without disturbing coding agents.
- Solution
- A native macOS API client with a ~5MB installer: HTTP/SSE/WebSocket in one workspace, all drafts and history stored locally, curl paste and Postman/Bruno collection import, assertion checks; explicitly no plugin installation and no modifying agent configs.
- Users
- macOS developers using coding agents, privacy-sensitive backend engineers, lightweight-tool enthusiasts.
- MVP
- HTTP/SSE/WebSocket request panel; curl paste and Postman collection import; assertion checks; local drafts and history; no account, no plugins
- Revenue
- One-time purchase (~$39) with optional sync subscription; open-source base to drive adoption
- Why now
- Postman's bloat and config-tampering have caused a trust crisis, and agent workflows need more restrained tools; native macOS utilities are a classic solo-dev niche.
