Keyboard-first, on purpose

Send with ⌘↵, switch environments with ⌘⇧E, search with ⌘K. Pigeon is a keyboard-first macOS API client — free, open source, no account.

Shortcut keys ⌘↵, ⌘⇧E, and ⌘K highlighted on a dark developer UI.

API work has a rhythm: tweak, send, read, tweak again. Every trip to the mouse breaks it a little.

Pigeon leans on the keyboard:

Shortcut What it does
⌘↵ Send
⌘K Command palette
⌘⇧E Environments
⌘S Save to a collection
⌘/ Shortcuts help

The point isn’t memorizing everything

Learn send and the palette first. The rest shows up when you need it — ⌘/ is right there.

If you’ve lived in an editor or a terminal, this should feel familiar. Same hands. Fewer clicks.
