Download Apiboo
Apiboo is a desktop tool that combines API testing, database access, SSH, documentation, and team chat into a single application. The free version keeps all data local, so developers can import Postman or Insomnia collections and start sending requests without creating an account. Database credentials and API tokens are stored in an encrypted vault that never transmits readable secrets to external servers.
The application runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases directly, opens SSH terminals and SFTP sessions, and stores query scripts beside the API requests that use them. Kanban boards and a rich-text documentation editor keep project context in one workspace without switching between separate tools.
Apiboo includes an AI assistant that accepts an Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini key from the user. The key stays in the local vault and requests go straight to the provider. Paid plans add cloud sync and shared team workspaces, while the free plan requires no account and works entirely offline. Apiboo is not open source and is built with Rust and TypeScript.
