The privacy-first API client that scales with your team.

Trusted by 300,000+ developers
Bruno takes privacy seriously. So do we at any team size.
Bruno's model is Git-first: your files, your repo, your existing access controls cascade down. That works beautifully until the people who need API access don't live in your Git workflow.
What Bruno gives you
Local-first privacy that just works
- Plain files on your machine
- Git-native version control
- Governance cascades from your Git host
- SSO & SCIM for license management
What's missing
The gaps that show up as your team grows
- No real-time sync for non-Git teammates
- No AI-powered testing or generation
- No self-hosted deployment for team collaboration
Requestly keeps everything on the left, and adds first-class team collaboration, native sync, self-hosted deployment.
One platform. Three ways to work.
The only API client that adapts to your security posture, not the other way around.
Keep the Git workflow you already love.
Solo devs and teams already living in Git
Save collections as plain files on your machine. Commit, branch, and review them through pull requests. No account, no cloud dependency, no data leaves your laptop, exactly like Bruno.
- Plain-file collections, diff-friendly
- One-click import from
.brufiles - Zero lock-in, your files, your repo
Real-time sync for everyone, not just Git users.
Teams with PMs, QA, frontend, and support
When someone outside engineering needs to hit an endpoint or run a collection, they shouldn't need to clone a repo. Team Projects give your whole org instant, real-time sync through a shared workspace.
- Live collaboration across roles
- Workspace-wide SSO authentication
- Run Team and Local side by side, per workspace
Team collaboration without leaving your infrastructure.
Finance, healthcare, government, regulated environments
Deploy Requestly on your own servers or private cloud. Your requests, tokens, environments, and audit logs never touch a third-party. Get real-time team collaboration with full data residency.
- Deploy on your VPC or on-prem
- Native audit logs, exportable for compliance
- InfoSec-ready from day one

Questions Bruno users ask us
Do I lose Git-based workflow if I switch?
No. Local Projects work exactly like Bruno — plain files, commit to your repo, diff-friendly. You can stay 100% local forever.
Is Team Project a cloud trap?
No. Team Projects are opt-in, per-workspace. You can run a Local Project alongside a Team Project. If you ever want out, your collections are still plain files.
Will Requestly ever force cloud sync?
No. That's a product commitment, and your local collections are plain files, you can walk away anytime.
Can I self-host on day one?
Self-hosting is available on the Pro plan with dedicated onboarding support. Docs are public if you want to evaluate the architecture before subscribing.
Will my Bruno .bru files import cleanly?
Yes. The one-click importer parses .bru format, preserves folder structure, environments, auth, and scripts. Nothing gets re-keyed.
Is there a free tier for small teams?
Yes, the Free plan covers individuals and small teams with no credit card and no time limit.
