Hey HN! Aldin here, a helping hand to Voiden (https://voiden.md)
Voiden is a free, offline, Git-native API client. Your API definitions, docs, and tests all live together.
It came out of years of frustration: cloud sync lock-in, paywalled basics, bloated UIs, and lag on even simple requests. So the team built the opposite: an offline tool with no login, no telemetry, no lock-in. Just markdown and hotkeys.
It behaves like code: local files, git branches, no cloud nonsense. Terminal is built-in, so you can commit, diff, and push changes right from the app.
Docs stay close to your requests, so that API spec and what the API actually does never drift apart. No more scattered Postman, docs, and test files everywhere. A single source of truth.
