Insomnia
Insomnia is an open-source desktop API client and design tool. Gregory Schier created it in 2015, and Kong, the San Francisco API gateway company, acquired it in 2019. The core is Apache 2.0 licensed on GitHub, where the repository has around 40,000 stars. Its core job is to let developers send, debug and test API requests, design OpenAPI specs and mock endpoints from one app.
It supports REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events and Socket.IO, plus an MCP client for testing Model Context Protocol servers. Projects can live locally, in Git or in Kong's cloud with optional end-to-end encryption, and a Scratch Pad works without an account. Scripts, an unlimited collection runner, mock servers and the Inso CLI round it out. Essentials is free with Git Sync for up to 3 users, Pro adds unlimited users and RBAC, and Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM and storage policies.
Insomnia fits developers who want a lighter, local-first alternative to Postman and teams already using Kong Gateway or Konnect. Collaboration and documentation features are thinner than Postman's, and the 2023 decision to require accounts for syncing upset part of its community. Postman remains the broadest platform, Apidog bundles design, docs and testing in one workspace, and Stoplight is stronger for design-first API governance.
Insomnia 13 shipped in June 2026 with native Kong Konnect integration, which pulls routes, endpoints and configuration from Konnect into the app. Pro is $12 per user a month or $10 billed annually, and Enterprise comes with a 14-day free trial.
