Native macOS apps that respect your time

Two apps so far. Both are free. Both are native — no Electron, no 800 MB RAM, no cloud dependency. Both keep your data on your machine.

HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, and SSE in a single app that launches in under 200 ms and idles below 30 MB of RAM. The free Postman alternative built specifically for macOS.

  • Native SwiftUI — Touch ID vault, system menus, real keyboard shortcuts
  • Local-first — no account, no telemetry, no cloud sync default
