RapidAPI for Mac

Paw (now RapidAPI) is a very good alternative, though I can't say they wont be under the same capitalist pressures as Postman. I paid $50, one time. https://paw.cloud/.

Kreya - GUI Client

As one of the creators, I can recommmend https://kreya.app. It is not open source (like Postman), but has a strong focus on privacy and also stores the data locally. As it has more powerful features (IMO) than most alternatives listed here, I am a little disappointed that it isn't mentioned more often.

HTTPie

I've really been enjoying [HTTPie](https://httpie.io/) Postman has long been too bloated to be useful.

Insomnia REST

I’ve been using https://insomnia.rest/ and it has everything you need and does not require you to log in.

JMeter

FYI some of our people internally use Jmeter. https://jmeter.apache.org/ It's not flashy so it probably wont get the standard "we are going to milk you for data" plan.

xh

No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive. <a href="https://github.com/ducaale/xh">https://github.com/ducaale/xh</a>.

Hurl.dev

You can give a try to Hurl [1], a CLI open source tool, based on plain text and curl. It allows you to run and test Rest/SOAP/GraphQL APIs (I'm one of the maintainer). There is no GUI, so Hurl is not a drop-in Postman replacement, but it has nice features: it can be easily integrated in CI/CD, it's fast and it's powered by curl! A detail: Hurl is given to the community by Orange, a French telco. Orange is not in the dev business, so it should remain free, open source, analytics free for a long time. In any case, you can easily convert Hurl files to JSON [2] in order to switch to another tool or not being trapped in a single provider...
