It says Git-friendly, indicating postman isn't? Are Postman collections stored in some binary file or something?
I will admit, the UI looks a lot like Postman, which isn't a bad thing. Using a new markdown language to define requests feels a bit heavy-handed in terms of interoperability, but perhaps I am blowing that concern out of proportion.
Offline only is definitely nice and makes things more usable for corporate environments with reduced risk of leaking confidential data.
Just my two sats without having tried it out.

Yeah, sounds weird. They say they are better than Postman but honestly, I don't know what's wrong with Postman? Maybe I don't know because I never used it much and I am thus not the target group but maybe I should be? Why limit yourself to people who use Postman?
I think it's always weird when a product tries to advertise itself by saying they are better than X without explaining what's bad about X or how they are better.
Kind of just assuming that (enough) users don't like X and thus anything that is not X must be better which is a logical fallacy.
This testimonial says Postman is using a proprietary format:
But I also don't like testimonials. They always feel so biased but oh well, what did I expect haha.

Maybe this is just my interpretation, but I don’t read proprietary as not being Git-friendly. This new app also created its own language to store request collections. That’s proprietary in my book. Sure it’s open source, but it isn’t some standard format. I just don’t understand this argument. Unless of course postman’s storage format is binary or XML where git diffs struggle. But I assumed they were JSON. Maybe I’ll verify when I find a moment.
