Insomnia shittified. Insomnium is the fork (github.com)

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

Great to hear, i didn't know Insomnia also went the way of forcing cloud integration (which is also a huge security issues with the usage of credentials etc.) along with Postman. Our company actually suggested Insomnia as an alternative to Postman upon banning the latter, but they might revise that recommendation to Insomnium now.

Insomnium is also the name of a great melodic death metal band by the way: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Insomnium/2332
