Voiden is an offline-first, git-native API tool built on Markdown - and it very intentionally didn’t start as “let’s build a better Postman”.

Over time, API tooling became heavyweight: cloud dependencies for local work, forced accounts, proprietary formats, and workflows that break the moment you’re offline. Testing a localhost API shouldn’t need an internet connection.

So we asked a simple question: What if an API tool respected how developers already work?

That led to a few core ideas:

  • Offline-first, no accounts, no telemetry

  • Git as the source of truth

  • Specs, tests, and docs living together in Markdown

We opensourced Voiden because extensibility without openness just shifts the bottleneck.

If workflows should be transparent, the tool should be too.

    Hate this elitist shit. Just for once try to work with other humans on a tech project that requires collaboration.
    Postman strike a balance between technical and user friendly.
    RTFM for curl for everyone is alienating for a a lot of people.

      I’m liking seeing both these opinions side by side. Both sound great.

      Someone wants to spoon feed me curl commands, like thanks :-)

      Someone wants to spoon me a UI which I can’t curl, thanks eh :-)
