ApiArk is a privacy-first desktop API client built with Tauri v2, serving as a lightweight Postman alternative that runs entirely locally with no login or cloud dependency. It supports REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and Server-Sent Events while using only ~60 MB of RAM.

Use cases

• test rest api endpoints locally
• lightweight postman alternative
• debug graphql and websocket requests offline
• send http requests without cloud account
• inspect server-sent events streams
• keep api collections in git instead of cloud

When to choose

• you want a fast, low-memory API client with no login or cloud sync
• you prefer storing API collections in Git for version control
• you need REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and SSE testing in one offline desktop app
• you care about privacy and local-first tooling

When to avoid

• you need team collaboration and cloud-synced collections
• you rely on advanced Postman features like automated test suites, mock servers, or CI integrations
• you need a browser-based or CLI-only API client
