Collections when you mean it

History files itself; collections are the tree you build on purpose. Save with ⌘S, nest folders, keep everything local. Free Postman alternative for macOS.

Collection tree with domain folders and nested GET and POST requests.

History is the automatic layer. It catches what you sent so you can find it later.

Collections are different. They’re the tree you build on purpose — the login flow you reuse, the staging suite you share with yourself next month, the folder named after a ticket.

How it feels day to day

Send freely. History fills in. When a request is worth keeping, hit ⌘S and put it where it belongs. Nest folders if you want. Don’t if you don’t.

Local, like everything else

Collections live on your disk. No workspace invite. No “syncing…” spinner. Export when you need a backup or a handoff.

Automatic history for momentum. Collections for the stuff you intend to keep.
