Bruno: Open-Source API Client That Stores Requests as Git-Friendly Files
Bruno is a desktop API client that stores collections as plain-text .bru files in a local Git repository, eliminating the need for cloud accounts. It supports offline use, environment variables, and pre/post-request scripting, with over 45,000 GitHub stars. Unlike Postman, Bruno requires no login and keeps all data on the user's machine.

Bruno's Git-native approach solves real collaboration pain points for teams handling sensitive data, but its lack of cloud sync may limit adoption in larger organizations.
