Reqit is a local-first, git-native API client built for developers who want their API collections to live alongside their code instead of locked away in someone else's cloud. Every collection is stored as plain files in your repo, so requests, environments, and test suites version naturally with git: diffable, mergeable, and reviewable just like any other part of your codebase. Beyond the basics of sending requests and organizing collections, reqit includes a mock server for simulating endpoints during development, a Collection Runner with assertions for automated testing, and full OpenAPI import/export so you can move in and out of existing specs without friction. It supports mTLS client certificate authentication for teams working with secured internal APIs, and a BYOK (bring-your-own-key) AI layer that lets you plug in OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, or Ollama for AI-assisted workflows inside the app. For teams building AI agents, reqit ships with its own MCP server, exposing your API collections as tools an agent can call directly, plus Agent Lens, a linter and eval workbench that checks whether your API surface is actually "tool-ready" for agentic use. Collections can also be published via Collection Showcase, with support for custom domains, making it easy to share polished, browsable API documentation without standing up separate infrastructure. The whole experience is wrapped in a distinctive visual identity, deep blacks accented with a signature cyan, giving reqit a sharp, focused feel that stands apart from the cluttered, cloud-first tools it's meant to replace. At its core, reqit is about giving developers ownership: your API workflows shouldn't be trapped in a vendor's database. They should be yours, versioned, portable, and as hackable as the rest of your stack.
