Insomnia Core for Mac is a powerful REST API Client with cookie management, environment variables, code generation, and authentication for Mac, Window, and Linux. Specify URL, payload, headers, and authorization all in one place.

Then just hit send. Get all the details on every response. View status code, body, headers, cookies, and more! Create workspaces or folders, drag-and-drop requests, and easily import and export your data.

The program is more than just an HTTP client! Insomnia Rest for macOS is collaborative, free, open source, and cross-platform – making it the perfect companion for both individuals and teams.

Write less code
