What is Bruno ?
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.
Problem
Users rely on traditional API clients (e.g., Postman) that use cloud-based storage and lack native Git integration, leading to collaboration inefficiencies and version control challenges.
Solution
A local-first, open-source desktop app that lets developers manage API collections directly on their filesystem, enabling native Git collaboration and versioning without cloud dependency. Example: Store collections as files, edit via CLI/UI, and sync via Git.
Customers
Software developers and engineering teams who prioritize Git workflows and seek offline-friendly, privacy-focused API testing tools.
Unique Features
Local filesystem storage, Git-native collaboration, open-source codebase, CLI integration, and no cloud dependency.
