What is RestRuno?

RestRuno is a desktop REST API client for developers and QA engineers, built to be fast and private. Everything runs locally: no account, no sign-in, no cloud sync. Collections, requests, environments and variables are stored as plain, git-friendly JSON files on your disk, so you can version them with Git and share them with your team without vendor lock-in.

Features include: collections and folders, environments and variables, pre-request and test scripts, a data-driven collection runner (CSV/JSON datasets), session cookies, import from Postman (collections and environments), a global console, and an optional AI assistant that works with local open-source models via Ollama or LM Studio (as well as hosted providers). It also exposes a local MCP server and REST API so AI agents can drive your requests.

The core app is free; Pro (AI assistant, data-driven runner, MCP server) is a one-time payment — no subscription. Available for Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), installable via direct download or Homebrew.
