An API Client, not a Platform
Bruno is an open-source challenger to the movement of turning everything into a bloated "platform". A devtool should be extensible and work with the other tools in your stack... not against them. We're bringing the API Client back to reality - and to developers.
Collaborate via Git
Or any version control system of your choice
Bruno stores everything as folders and text files on your filesystem. This means you can treat them just as you would code, even co-locating with the codebase they're relevant to. Improve discoverability as you'll have a logical source of truth.
Secure & Local
Own your data
Bruno never syncs any of your data to the cloud and there's not even the concept of a login or account. We don't have visibility into what you're inputting into Bruno, and we certainly aren't training any AI models with your data. Your data stays on your machine and can only be intentionally shared via Git or some other file transfer method.
Effortless Scale
Enterprise-grade permissions without enterprise-grade complexity
As a local app leveraging Git for collaboration, all of your existing permissions and controls automatically cascade to Bruno. From role-based access, to audit logs, to secret management, there's no additional configuration needed. Scale your API program without scaling your security overhead.
Trusted by organizations that get it
Chosen by teams who prioritize developer efficiency, security, and clear value
Customer Testimonials
“I have been using it for a while and i really liked it. When compared to other tools which i have used for testing API, Bruno is the only one which only takes a fraction of seconds to load, consumes very less memory and mainly it has the features which are intended to have. It's always difficult to come out of our comfort zone and try a different tool but once we do and if we like it we will never go back. And that's how Bruno is!”
“It's been a while now, since I've been using Bruno the open-source, lite weight, fast software for testing API's. Bruno has been bringing in lots and lots of surprises and keeps you excited for what's coming up next.”
“Postman sunsetted scratchpad, making impossible to manage your assets locally: you have to create an account and use their cloud. Unacceptable for businesses. Alternative? Bruno, git friendly and an exponentially growing community 👏🏻”
“Oh wow how have I never heard of Bruno until today?! Like Postman but you can commit *readable* collections, using this has been amazing 🤯”
“Bye Postman, hello Bruno. I say goodbye to Postman for API pentesting, it has become a very heavy and annoying API client, now it forces you to be connected, log in and use their cloud services to use Collection Runner, launch tests among other options. Bruno is light, fast, you can work offline and to work collaboratively you are not forced to do it using the Postman cloud, it is possible to do it with Bru files and a traditional version control like git. I am not being paid to say this, I just think it is a very valid alternative.”
