Slumber is a TUI (terminal user interface) HTTP client. Define, execute, and share configurable HTTP requests. Slumber is built on some basic principles:
- It will remain free to use forever
- You own your data: all configuration and data is stored locally and can be checked into version control
- It will never be enshittified
- Usable as a TUI or CLI
- Source-first configuration, for easy persistence and sharing
- Import from external formats (e.g. Insomnia)
- Build requests dynamically from other requests, files, and shell commands
- Browse response data using JSONPath selectors
- Switch between different environments easily using profiles
- And more!
Slumber is based around collections. A collection is a group of request recipes, which are templates for the requests you want to run. A simple collection could be:
# slumber.yml
requests:
get: !request
method: GET
url: https://httpbin.org/get
post: !request
method: POST
url: https://httpbin.org/post
body: !json { "id": 3, "name": "Slumber" }Create this file, then run the TUI with slumber.
