Why are developers switching from Postman?

Postman recently eliminated scratchpad offline mode, forcing users into cloud accounts and cloud sync. In addition, its desktop app consumes 400MB to 1GB+ of RAM. APIFlow runs instantly in your browser or as a lightweight PWA with zero forced login and 100% local data storage.

Can I import my existing Postman collections into APIFlow?

Yes. APIFlow supports one-click import and export of Postman Collection v2.1 formats, OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specs, and raw cURL commands.

Are my API secrets and tokens safe?

Yes. All collections, environment variables, and authentication tokens are kept strictly inside your browser's IndexedDB database. Nothing is saved to third-party cloud servers.
