Blazing fast API tester with AI helper & no login required
Aspen is a free-to-use, no logging required API testing app for macOS. It is specifically made to meet the needs of testing REST APIs, and with the help of AI, instantly help with integrations by generating data models, OAS and integration code.
Hello Product Hunt, I’d like to introduce you to Aspen 🐕, our newest app focused on API testing.
Before we dive deeper into what Aspen can do, first, some background on the name.
A year ago, Vedran, founder and the main guy behind Aspen, decided to surprise his wife, Tea, with a dog. Yup, that's how this story starts. 🐾Tea always wanted a Maltese, so Vedran got one, and he has been the office mascot ever since.
The dog turned out to be the whitest dog you’ve ever seen. So they called him Aspen, just like the popular ski place in Colorado, US ⛷. When we started thinking about building an API-testing product, we kept referring to it as a developer's best friend. We all collectively immediately thought of Aspen, and our designer drew up a digital version of him. When we saw the icon she made, we were instantly sure about the name and the rest is history.
Now, to get back to our product. Aspen is a new, groundbreaking HTTP client built by Treblle. It allows you to make HTTP requests to your REST-based APIs seamlessly and with ease.
🪄AI-powered: Once you make an HTTP request, Aspen can generate data models, integration code, and more in any programming language based on that request. This allows you to seamlessly move from testing APIs to integrating them in seconds.
🛡Private by default: Aspen doesn't require an account to get started, nor does it send any data to our servers. You can use Aspen completely anonymously without worrying about someone getting access to your API data. All data, including request history, is stored locally on your Mac.
🚀 Blazing fast: Aspen is a native app for Apple Silicon devices built in SwiftUI. It consumes ten times less memory and CPU than any other API testing app. That’s it—our entry into API testing. We don’t plan to stop there.
We’re already working on v2, including a way to visualize API responses, share requests with one 1-click, and more.
In the meantime, please let us know what you think; we love feedback and ideas on improving the product 🙌
Thx a million🙏
