A no-BS REST client for developers who just want to send HTTP requests... Without logging in, syncing to the cloud, or navigating five menus to do it.
Most API tools are bloated, slow, or built around team workflows you didn’t ask for.
RESTStop is local. Fast. Focused. No sign-in. No telemetry. No friction.
You open it, make a request, and get a response. That’s it.
- Supports all standard HTTP request types
- Edit headers and raw request body
- Preview JSON or HTM in the response
- View full response headers and status
- Local request history (no accounts, no sync)
- Minimal UI with dark mode
- Built with Electron, so it runs anywhere
Check the releases on this repository for current Mac and Windows installers.
