Postman is moving more and more from a local tool tp a cloud-based tool under the company's control.

Exporting your data from Postman has been made more difficult over the last few releases and now the local scratchpad is about to be removed in favor of using the free account in two weeks time.

These actions make me worry that Postman will soon no longer be a free tool or will use my collections and data for their own purposes (e.g. AI training).

I need an alternative, and maybe RecipeUI can fill that gap. Or I will be stuck on Insomnia.

I was under the impression that you could continue using scratchpad so long as you didn't sign in (Which I never felt the need to).
