Insomnia helps developers review and validate what they ship, whether they work with traditional API endpoints or emerging agent-based patterns. It doesn't restrict where teams store their code or data, and it keeps control with the user. Work can remain local and private, or teams can choose to share it through Git or cloud sync.
