What it does

Request Eagle is a native API client written in Rust and rendered on the GPU. Requests live as TOML files on your disk, with scripts, Vim mode and a CLI for agents.

Request Eagle is a Postman alternative written in Rust and rendered on the GPU. It is a real desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux with no web view inside, and it keeps your requests as files on your disk. That is the time from launch until it answers your first keystroke.
