Posty

Posty

A fast, lightweight, privacy-focused API client. No sign-up required.

Why Posty?

image

Postman became bloated. Insomnia requires accounts. You just want to test an API.

Posty is a native desktop app built with Tauri and Rust. It starts instantly, uses minimal memory, and keeps all your data local.

Features

  • HTTP/REST requests with full method support
  • Request collections with nested folders
  • Environments with base URLs, variables, and secrets
  • Secrets manager with / insertion in headers
  • Request history (auto-saved, searchable)
  • Request diff comparison
  • OpenAPI/Swagger import with auto-sync
  • cURL import (paste directly into URL bar)
  • Code generation (cURL, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, PHP)
  • Collection runner for multi-step flows
  • Request testing with assertions and variable extraction
  • Light, Dark, and System themes
  • Command palette (Cmd+K)
  • Auto-updates

Environments

Environments let you switch between dev, staging, and production without editing requests.

  • Define multiple environments (Development, Staging, Production)
  • Each environment has its own base URL, variables, and secrets
  • Switch environments from the dropdown in the URL bar
  • Reference variables with {{variableName}} in URLs, headers, or body
  • Environment secrets are available via the / picker in header values

When you switch environments, all base URLs, variables, and secrets update automatically.

Secrets

Secrets keep API keys and sensitive values out of request definitions.

  • Store secrets per environment or per collection
  • Type / in header value fields to open the secret picker
  • Secrets render as chips in the editor (hidden values)
  • Environment secrets override collection secrets with the same name
  • Generated code uses placeholders by default, with option to reveal values

OpenAPI Sync

Import OpenAPI specs from URLs or local files.

  • Import creates a collection with request templates
  • Track source file/URL for easy refresh
  • Pull in body examples and auth headers from the spec

Collection Runner

Run an entire collection or folder in sequence.

  • Execute requests with shared runtime variables between steps
  • Extract values from responses with {{variableName}}
  • See live pass/fail status and response codes
  • Useful for login-to-resource workflows

Request Testing

Add assertions and extractions to individual requests.

  • Assert on status codes, headers, JSON paths, response time
  • Extract response values into runtime variables
  • View results inline after sending
