What is Bruno?

Bruno is a Git-friendly and offline-first open-source API client aimed at revolutionizing the status quo represented by tools like Postman and Insomnia.

We aim to solve two core issues:

Collaboration

Bruno’s superpower is collaboration through a live connection to your version control system, such as Git.

With Bruno, collections are stored directly in a folder on the filesystem. A plain text markup language, Bru, is used to save information about API requests.

Data Privacy and Security

Legacy API clients have moved towards capturing every piece of data they can, from your PII (name, email), to the actual contents of your API requests and responses (keys, tokens, etc).

Bruno is an offline tool. There’s no concept of a login or account, and there is no cloud connection or syncing of the work you do in Bruno.

If you or your organization purchases a Pro license, your email is required simply for the issuance of a license key.
