macOS terminal HTTP utility

A compact command-line HTTP client built for macOS that lets you craft and dispatch web requests directly from the terminal. This standalone tool provides a fast way to interact with APIs without launching a graphical IDE, making it ideal when you want quick request/response cycles from a shell environment.

Capabilities at a glance

Designed with developers and API testers in mind, the client simplifies sending requests and inspecting responses. It borrows familiar patterns from JetBrains tools so users who’ve used those IDEs will recognize the command structure and request syntax.

Key advantages

  • Handles DELETE, PUT, POST, GET and additional HTTP verbs for full API coverage.
  • Offers a native terminal workflow so no graphical interface is required.
  • Uses a syntax and behavior that align with JetBrains’ HTTP tooling.
  • Available free of charge for users who want a zero-cost utility.

Intended users

This utility is a good fit for engineers, QA specialists, and anyone who prefers working from the command line when testing or exploring web services. It speeds up routine checks and allows easy integration into shell scripts and CI tasks.

Installation and alternatives

To get started, download the standalone package for macOS or use a package manager when available. If you’re exploring other options, InstallerApp is a recommended free alternative that provides a similar set of capabilities.
