Is Insomnia something like Postman?

Sorry, the only Insomnia I know is an app that never let your Mac sleep... although I’m not sure if that’s still around.


Yeah, I'd argue better than postman because of the feature set and interface. It's very pleasant to use for both REST APIs and GraphQL, highly recommend it if you don't mind the electron tax.


More features than postman or better features? Postman has a ton of features, so just trying to figure what you meant by calling Insomnia better because of its feature set.


I find it better, especially in how it fully isolates cookies.


Best way to interact with GraphQL that I've found.


Interesting. I'll probably use it instead of Postman from now on (when I rarely do).


It is - the pun is about GETting some REST ;-)


Hmm, shouldn’t it be “somnolence” or “hypersomnia” then...?


It’s a reference to the song by the band Faithless.


Haha. Nice.


Maybe you're thinking of Caffeine?

Insomnia the REST client is great -- I love having a native Mac alternative to Postman. Team syncing works really well, you don't even have to think about it.


I think the OP is thinking of InsomniaX (https://github.com/semaja2/InsomniaX). That’s what I first thought this was too
