    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a local-first API testing workflow that records browser requests and generates chained tests deployable to CI pipelines.
    • Enables secure, no-cloud API testing with zero configuration and seamless CI/CD integration, preserving privacy and control over data.
    • Use for capturing and testing API requests directly from browser sessions without relying on external services.
    • Use for building complex API test flows visually with request chaining, conditional logic, and data-driven loops.
    • Use for integrating automated API tests into continuous integration pipelines to ensure reliable API behavior during development.

    From the README

    A free, open-source Postman-style API tester you run locally. Record browser requests, auto-generate chained tests, and ship them straight to your CI—no sign-ups, no cloud, just code.

    DevTools gives developers complete control over their API testing workflows:

    DevTools combines the best aspects of Postman's visual interface with the security and flexibility of local-first, code-driven development. No sign-ups, no cloud dependencies - just powerful API testing tools that integrate perfectly with your development workflow.

    The DevTools interface provides a familiar Postman-like experience for working with API requests. The screenshot above shows the request editor interface with form data input, allowing you to easily build, test, and organize your API requests without the cloud dependency.
