WTF. 🤯

Postman's server's are down and you can't even use desktop app with your local APIs!

This is exactly why I made yaak.app. It works offline, is open source, has no telemetry, no VC funding, and even syncs with Git!

Give it a try and let me know what you think ✨

Directory Sync is architected in such a way that remote sync (like S3) might be doable. Any interest in this?

Okay, going to remove the responsive layout switching to an explicit control.

- Many of you want a top/bottom layout
- Responsive switching was nice, but annoying sometimes
- Preference is stored on a per-workspace level

🎁 Folder-level environment overrides are now available in the beta

Apparently some TLS improvements in a past release disabled ALPN and thus stopped HTTP/2 from working.

It's back now in 2025.5.5 🚀
