Restify

I needed a straightforward API client—collections, environments, real auth types, Postman import—without another login wall. So I built this, use it myself, and put the source on GitHub so anyone can run it, change it, or ignore it.

Get it

  • Browser — no install: app.restify.online
  • macOS — download a .dmg from GitHub Releases (built in CI; you may need to allow it once in macOS security settings because it isn’t notarized in that pipeline).
  • From source — clone the repo, cd frontend, npm install, then npm run electron or npm run dev. Details in the README on GitHub.

What it does

Collections and folders, environments with {{variables}}, pre-request and test scripts, code generation to a few languages, light/dark UI, import/export Postman v2. Desktop build keeps data local; the optional server in the repo is for sync/share if you deploy it.

Open source, for real

The license is MIT. You can fork it, ship a product, or strip it for parts—just keep the license file with the code. If you want to send a patch, see CONTRIBUTING.md and the longer note on why it’s built this way.
