The Git-native API client that stores collections as plain text files.
Bruno flips the API-client model: instead of locking collections in a cloud DB, it saves them as plain-text .bru files you commit to Git. Your API requests become reviewable, diffable, version-controlled code — a huge win for teams already in Git.
Who it's for: Engineers who want API requests in version control alongside the codebase, not in a silo.
Collections are .bru files — commit, branch, and review like code.
Works offline; no account needed to start.
JavaScript hooks for auth, chaining, and assertions.
Environment files keep secrets out of collections.
Bruno earns its place in a modern AI stack for anyone who values developer workflows done right. For Free / $15/mo it punches above its weight — and the free tier is genuinely usable. Worth a look before you commit to a heavier alternative.
