Insomnia 3.0 – A simple and beautiful REST API client

Your app is a web view running inside a copy of Chrome.

That is not a "native" app.

Is this a general objection to apps being web views run inside of Chrome? Insomnia's website does not make any claims towards being native.

I agree with the word "native" not suiting Electron apps well. I Updated the pricing page wording to reflect this. I think I originally used "native" because the Electron landing page does http://electron.atom.io/

Thank you. As I've said previously I don't have any issue with the term 'desktop app' for things like this, so I think this was the right choice.

Good luck with it!
