Features

File-Based Requests

Support for .http, .yaml, and .json formats. Run requests by name without extension using the CLI.

Variable Substitution

Use {{varName}}, {{env.VAR}} for environment variables, shell commands $(cmd), and --env-file to load .env files.

Header Profiles

Quick account switching with profiles. Configure directly in the TUI, with automatic session cleanup on switch.

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE

Built-in OAuth 2.0 support with PKCE flow. Authenticate with any OAuth provider directly from the TUI.

Format Converters

Convert cURL commands and OpenAPI specs to .http, .json, or .yaml with the --format flag.

Keyboard-Driven TUI

Fast navigation with Ctrl+D/U, searchable help, inline config editing, and file management with confirmations.

...and much more! Download the app and try it yourself.
