Our Take

The thing about Postman and Insomnia is they got fat and happy while developers just wanted something that loads fast and doesn't nag them to log in. Yaak is the founder of Insomnia's answer to his own creation going corporate — local-first, zero telemetry, Git-integrated, with an agent CLI that actually works for automation folks. 119k open source users is real signal, and the commercial license model means they're not desperate for growth dollars. If you want an API client that respects your machine and your privacy, this is the dark horse worth watching.
