Reinventing the API Client | Local, Native Git, Open Source
The API-client built for developers. Open-source. Local Native git. Bruno stores collections on your filesystem which allows you to natively interact with git for collaboration and versioning.
After five years at another major API client, I left after they made three massive mistakes: — Forcing a mandatory cloud login — Jacking up prices, effectively holding user data hostage.
— Bloating the product with unused 'platform' features.
These changes alienated the very developer community that built them.
Around that time, I met Anoop — the creator of Bruno.
Bruno is the antidote: a local-first, open-source API client with native Git integration for true collaboration and versioning.
No proprietary cloud lock-ins. No sky-high prices for basic control over your own work. No vendor hostage situations.
With Bruno, you can just:
Use a pure API Client without unnecessary bloat
Own your collections and data end-to-end
Follow your normal Git workflow
🚀 Hope you enjoy today’s launch — and we'd love your feedback!
