### What we like

GUI for interacting with any type of API (REST, HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, SSE). Supports auth (basic, bearer, OAuth, etc). Import from common tools (OpenAPI, Postman, curl, etc). Themeable and extensible with Node.js. Supports environments and variables. Cross platform. Free for personal use. Open source.

### Tradeoffs

Not fully native, but it’s not Electron (built in Rust with Tauri).
