Hey folks, in spite of [recent events](https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev
/comments/16twfkr/kong_pulls_a_postman_causing_exodus_from_insomnia/)
we have compiled a list of free, open-source and awesome alternatives
to Postman and Insomnia.

Here's the link: [https://github.com/stepci/awesome-api-
clients](https://github.com/stepci/awesome-api-clients)
Could you please give it a star, so more people can see it?

Would love to hear if you have more suggestions!

Many thanks for the effort! Will give it a star as soon as I’m on my
machine.

As I‘m migrating from Postman as well and I’m not happy with Insomnia
(missing features, lots of bug), do you have any personal
recommendations? Should be a Desktop Software, so far Insomnium as
fork doesn’t look too bad I think?

I'm actually using Thunder Client, very interesting all its features

I'm trying Bruno, seems to be getting a lot of love at the moment.

We don't talk about Bruno

Which of these can directly import an OpenApi spec?
