Insomnium (offline-only fork of Insomnia) is dead
Insomnium Project was archived on Jul 20, 2024.
Insomnium was a fork of Insomnia, a Postman alternative that didn't need account creation or online connectivity. Kong Inc. bought Insomninia and added that requirement anyways.
The last status from the project:
'Due to another related project, this repo is no longer being actively maintained. (You are welcomed to fork this and continue from here on)'
But it is unfortunate for current Insomnium users that the related project isn't listed or named.
There no longer seems to be a Postman alternative works 100% offline, the way a local testing tool should behave.

- vladde 2y agoThe online requirements for Postman (and now Insomnia) was a deal-breaker wether to use it at work. We opted for Bruno[1], which is local-only [1] https://github.com/usebruno/bruno https://github.com/usebruno/bruno
- vunderba 2y agoNever heard of Bruno before - looks like an interesting alternative. I'm not in love with the fact that it advertises itself as open source, but when you dig into it, there's a fair number of features that apparently belong to a source proprietary payware fork.
- solardev 2y agoIt's an "open core" model, then, no? Not entirely uncommon. It's also $19 for a perpetual license with 2 years of updates... seems totally fair. https://www.usebruno.com/pricing https://www.usebruno.com/pricing (Not affiliated with them, but am a user. It's not as featureful as Postman, but often good enough.)

- KomoD 2y ago"Due to another related project", what project is that? I just use an old version of Insomnia from before they added the account requirement and I will use it until the day it stops working.
