Streamline your API development process with NativeRest!

Excellent Performance + Memory Savings

The NativeRest desktop application does not use the Electron, Chromium, Node.js, or JavaScript frameworks. NativeRest is a 100% native program that uses all of Windows’ features.

It starts quickly and requires minimal memory and CPU. Some popular Electron-based REST clients require up to 100 times more RAM. NativeRest also features a snappy GUI with no lags.

Works In Offline Mode

NativeRest can be used without an internet connection. You decide whether to use simply local workspaces or also build cloud workspaces. When using local workspaces, all of your collections, environments, and requests are kept solely on your computer.

Working as a team allows you to easily construct cloud workplaces.

Preconfigured Proxy Server

A proxy server serves as an intermediate between the user and the web server. Proxy servers employ a different IP address on behalf of the user, keeping the user’s true address hidden from web servers.

You may also set NativeRest to utilize a custom proxy configuration when sending requests.

Generating Code Snippets

You can generate code snippets in various languages and frameworks within NativeRest. Over fifteen different languages: C, C#, cURL, Go, HTTP, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, Node.js, PHP, PowerShell, Python, Ruby, Shell, Swift, and more.
