Overview

What it is

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.

Intent

I need it when

Replace Postman with a lightweight, open-source alternative that respects data privacy

Bruno is an open-source, local-first API client that never syncs data to the cloud and requires no login or account. This addresses concerns about data privacy and vendor lock-in while providing REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket support comparable to Postman.

Collaborate on API collections using existing Git permissions and version control workflows

Bruno collections are stored as folders and text files on the filesystem, allowing teams to collaborate via Git or any version control system. Enterprise-grade permissions automatically cascade from existing Git access controls without additional configuration.

Automate API testing and integrate API collections into CI/CD pipelines

Bruno Pro and Ultimate tiers include collection runner, data-driven testing, report generation, and deeper Git integration with automation features. This enables teams to embed API testing directly into their SDLC workflows.

Scale API testing across large teams with enterprise-grade security and compliance

Bruno Ultimate provides SSO, SCIM, audit logs, custom DPA, security reviews, and dedicated account managers. Combined with Git-based permissions, this allows organizations to standardize API testing at scale without additional security overhead.

Test and manage REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket APIs without cloud vendor lock-in

Bruno is a Git-native API client that stores collections as plain text files in your repository, enabling local-only testing with no cloud sync. This lets developers maintain full control over API testing workflows and integrate them directly into their codebase.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires cloud-based data synchronization across devices; Bruno is local-only with no cloud sync
  • Organization needs built-in user authentication and login systems; Bruno has no account or login concept
  • Team requires real-time collaborative editing without Git; Bruno collaboration depends on version control systems
  • User needs a fully managed platform with minimal setup; Bruno is a developer tool requiring Git integration
  • Organization cannot use Git or version control for API collection management; Bruno stores collections as plain text files in Git
