A fast API client in the browser for testing and documenting your endpoints.

Mature enough to put in production this quarter.

Who it's for

Small teams who resent paying per seat for an API client that used to be free.

What it replaces

Postman's per-seat pricing.

The catch

The collaboration features are thinner than the incumbent's, so a large team with heavy shared-workspace habits will feel the gap.

Your first hour

Import your existing Postman collection and cancel one seat. If nobody notices, cancel the rest.
