An alternative to Postman and Insomnia

Postman has long been more than just a simple REST client: it has grown to include authorization, clouds, and paid features. Insomnia used to be a lightweight alternative, but it has gradually become more complex and restricted free access. Now it is no longer the right tool for basic tasks.

Yaak is a new attempt to return to simplicity. It works locally, does not require registration, and offers only basic functionality. If you need a simple and straightforward REST client without distracting add-ons, Yaak may be a good fit. For more context, see the author's post.
