Added

  • WebSocket requests: a new request type that opens a live ws/wss connection (routed through the server, so {{variables}}, headers, auth, and the cookie jar apply), with a message log, a composer, and reusable saved messages. Backed by a new multiplexed live channel (/live) shared by future streaming protocols.
  • Socket.IO requests: connect to a Socket.IO server (routed through the server like WebSocket, with a configurable handshake path, JSON auth payload, query parameters, and an events filter), emit named events with JSON arguments, and watch incoming events in the live log, with reusable saved emits.
  • MCP requests: connect to an external MCP server over Streamable HTTP (routed through the server, reusing headers and auth), browse its tools, fill in a tool's arguments via a form generated from its JSON Schema, call it, and view the result. STDIO transport is not supported yet.
  • Folders inside collections, nestable to any depth (Postman-style). Folders carry their own description and pre-request/test scripts, which run in the execution chain (collection → folder(s) → request). Postman imports now preserve their folder structure instead of flattening it into separate collections. On disk, folders are mirrored as nested directories; pre-folders workspaces still load (their requests appear at the collection root).
  • Drag-and-drop to move requests and folders between folders and collections in the sidebar (moving a folder takes its contents along).
  • Batch import: the sidebar import button now offers Import file… or Import folder… — the latter recursively imports every Postman collection/environment export found in a chosen folder (skipping anything that isn't a recognised export).
  • Saved responses: each request now keeps its last 3 responses, so reopening a request shows its recent results (with a switcher to step back through them). Responses are a local cache stored beside each request and are gitignored (they can contain tokens/PII), like secret environment values.
  • Documentation now has edit and preview modes (request docs and collection descriptions). Existing docs open in a read-only rendered preview with an Edit button; empty docs open straight in the editor; a Done button returns to preview.

Changed

  • Switching between requests/collections no longer prompts about unsaved changes; unsaved edits are discarded silently on navigation. The unsaved-changes warning now appears only when closing the browser tab.
  • The sidebar now starts with collections and folders collapsed, and its tree icons are slightly larger.

First tagged release.

Added

  • HTTP and GraphQL requests with params, headers, auth helpers (Bearer, Basic,
    API key), and body modes: JSON, text, form-urlencoded, multipart form-data
    with file fields, and binary file. Binary-safe responses with a Download
    button, plus Pretty/Raw views and syntax highlighting.
  • Workspaces as plain folders of JSON/Markdown files, chosen via the native
    system folder picker; collaborate by making a workspace a Git repo.
  • Workspace-level environments with {{variable}} interpolation, {{var}}
    autocomplete and blue/red highlighting, and secret variables that keep their
    value in a gitignored <env>.local.json.
  • Markdown documentation on every request and collection, edited with a
    WYSIWYG editor that round-trips to clean Markdown.
  • Resizable request-body, response, and sidebar panels with persisted sizing.
  • cURL import/export and Postman collection/environment import (Collection
    v2.1.0), including import of Postman pre-request/test scripts.
  • Postman-compatible pre-request and post-response (test) scripts with a pm.*
    API, at the request and collection level, run in a sandboxed node:vm.
  • Automatic per-workspace cookie jar (capture and auto-attach), a cookie
    manager UI, and pm.cookies for scripts.
  • MCP server over Streamable HTTP exposing workspace tools to AI agents, with
    two-step confirmation on destructive tools.

Fixed

  • Unsaved-changes indicator no longer sticks after edits are reverted.
  • Cookies whose Domain attribute is an IP are stored host-only instead of
    being silently dropped.
