Developer First
Open-source and extensible.
Native Git
Collections are plain text files in your repo.
Local Only
No cloud sync. Your data stays local.
Designed for Scale
Works with your existing Git permissions.
Built by and for Developers
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
“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.”
Vysakh Rajeev
“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 👏🏻”
Arnaud
“Oh wow how have I never heard of Bruno until today?! Like Postman but you can commit readable collections, using this has been amazing 🤯”
