Insomnium API Client

Current Status

Due to another related project, this repo is no longer being actively maintained. (You are welcomed to fork this and continue from here on)

General

I have removed user login, tracking, analytics, etc, from Insomnia so it is now a 100% local app. (And runs faster!)

Download

Insomnium is available for Mac, Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora and can be downloaded here. Insomnium is also available on AUR for ArchLinux.

Alternatively, you can build Insomnium from source on your local machine using npm run app-package.

Backstory

Insomnium is a fork of Kong/insomnia at 2023.5.8, the last commit before compulsory account login was introduced. In a sense, Insomnium is a community response to the latest product update that forces account creation w/o warning.

HN

I was among the users who were deeply affected by the recent change. I still think Insomnia is a nice product in general, but I have to disagree with the direction it is going. So I have decided to fork it and make it 100% local and privacy-focused.

I choose to walk in shades.
Hearken now, to the song of dusk
The forest venerates your name
--- Insomnium, song of the dusk

Migration from Insomnia

You can use the GUI (under Preferences/Data) or directly e.g. for linux cp -r ~/.config/Insomnia ~/.config/Insomnium. For MacOS and Windows, you can read more here. Feel free to open an issue/discussion if anything weird happens.
