Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
