Git-friendly API client alternative

A lean API client with smoother environments and auth

Problem

Existing API clients are either bloated (Postman) or still painful around environment variables, workspaces, pre-request authentication, and large-collection performance. Teams want a Git-friendly, lightweight alternative with auth automation.

Solution

A Git-native API client: collections stored as files, environments and pre-request scripts separated and reusable; built-in auth templates (OAuth, API Key); optimized indexing for large collections.

Users

Small to mid-size dev teams managing API collections via Git

MVP

Collection file read/write with Git sync; environment variable management; pre-request auth script templates; lightweight request editor; import Postman/Bruno collections

Revenue

Open-source core + hosted team collaboration subscription (shared environments and auth)

Why now

Postman bloat and Bruno's gaps keep developers searching for alternatives; indie developers can target specific pain points quickly
