Funny. I just found Bruno two weeks ago after getting fed up with Insomnia and am loving it. It feels like what Postman and Insomnia were when they started. Simple and to the point.

There are a few minor features I miss (being able to bulk edit headers is the main one), but overall I highly recommend it.

You can do that by editing the collection file directly , Bruno watches for file system changes on the collection folder

Ah, that's good to know. I'm definitely going to use that trick. I'd still love to have a first class way to do that though.

Just curious, what’s your gripe with Insomnia? I find its UX a little clunky at times but haven’t found anything limiting my use cases.

Personally, it was Insomnia shifting to requiring an account and promoting "enterprise" features that clutter the experience and get in the way of me doing my job.

From there, I did research and found `insomnium` and a coworker found `bruno`. Bruno aligned closer to what I value, so now I use that.

Oh wow, I never noticed. It appears I’m running a ~1 year old version (2023.4.0) that just stopped auto-updating. It doesn’t have any restrictions and doesn’t require an account.
