Getman

Getman Wiki

Getman is a fast, native, local-first HTTP client for macOS, Windows, Linux (and a web build), built with Flutter and wrapped in three deliberately opinionated visual themes. No account, no cloud, no telemetry — everything lives in a local database on your machine.

This wiki documents every feature and how to use it. Use the sidebar (→) or the map below.

A note on screenshots: this wiki is text-first so it stays accurate as the UI evolves. Button and dialog labels are quoted verbatim (they're shown in UPPERCASE in the Brutalist theme).
