Mar 10, 2026Insomnium is a privacy-focused, local API testing tool supporting GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, and gRPC. It's a fork of Insomnia, designed for developers who prioritize data privacy and offline functionality.
Provides a local environment for testing and developing APIs without sending data to external servers.
Maturity: The project has moderate activity with 3,475 GitHub stars but shows some stagnation with the last commit in 2024 and 54 open issues.
Community: Hacker News discussions highlight its privacy focus but also note concerns about its inactive state and potential demise.
