I have found Bruno (https://github.com/usebruno/bruno) to be a decent basic alternative with a nice bonus of being version control friendly, keep in mind that it's fresh and relatively unpolished though - for instance it doesn't ask you to save changes before closing the app.

This one is free from VC funding and promises to stay away from it. So it should not suffer from enshittification.

See https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/269

The one thing I'm afraid of is that it's a single maintainer project, and while they are active now, I'm not sure how this is going to fare in a few months or so.

I've been at this for 2 years. The project got visibility very recently.

The code is MIT. I look forward to do this for a long long time.

Glad to see alternatives but disappointed that Bruno does not support OpenAPI specification.

At my company, we hand-edit OpenAPI specs in YAML and it gets consumed by many tools that generate types[0], static analysis and dynamic checks[1]. The OpenAPI spec itself is linted[2]. And of course, Postman consumes OpenAPI.

Tools that are built on open standards will naturally see greater adoption over those that use proprietary formats.

We will be adding support for openapi import and design very soon.

We just released v0.22.0 where we nudge the users to save their requests before closing the tab.

Also, Bruno now supports collection level headers, auth, scripts and tests
