Kreya · Arnegg, Switzerland
What it is
Kreya is a desktop API client for exploring, testing, and automating API workflows. It supports gRPC, REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events, and can watch or import OpenAPI specifications, GraphQL schemas, and protobufs. Users can create scripted and snapshot tests, then run its headless CLI in CI/CD with JUnit reports. Projects are stored as structured JSON intended for Git diffs, reviews, and versioning. Kreya also imports collections from Postman and Insomnia, plus HAR, cURL, gRPCurl, and grpc web curl data. Its reusable authentication vault supports methods including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, API keys, mTLS, and Kerberos. The maker says app data remains on the device, while the privacy policy says the app and CLI collect anonymized telemetry. Kreya runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The free plan limits request history to the latest request; Pro costs $5 a month and includes scripting and testing, snapshot testing, a full-featured CLI, and email support. Secret manager integration is marked as coming soon.
