PostPilot is an API client, a database client, and a JSON/XML inspector in one local desktop app. No account.
Watch: create an order, patch it and diff the response, then pull the OTP directly from the database and use it in the verify request - all without leaving the app.
Full version (API + DB + Env. Vars + Offline). Works on Windows, macOS & Linux.
Windows 10+
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora
macOS 10.15+ (Apple Silicon)
After trial: one-time $40 license, perpetual + 1 year updates.
One local workspace for API requests, database queries, and data inspection - no cloud account required.
Work offline with full privacy.
All requests, queries, and data stay on your device - no cloud sync, no hidden uploads.
Your API keys and database credentials never leave the machine.
API + DB + JSON in a single workspace.
Send API requests, query databases, and inspect data side by side.
No more switching between Postman, a DB client, and a JSON viewer.
Define once, reuse everywhere.
Define reusable variables, group requests, and resume work where you left off.
Set a variable from an API response and reuse it in a DB query - without rebuilding setup each time.
Starts fast. No background services.
Single binary, no mandatory runtime, no telemetry.
Less tool overhead means fewer interruptions while you debug.
Show results, not confusion.
Highlight responses, queries, and metadata - share directly in bug reports or chats.
Less "I don't see what you see."
Pick up right where you left off.
Your requests, queries, and variables are persisted locally across sessions.
Open the app and continue - no re-entering credentials or rebuilding request state.
When a GraphQL field returns blank, open your query, inspect the JSON, reuse the variable, pivot to the DB, and verify the data - without switching apps or rebuilding context.

Perpetual license model: Pay once, own forever. Updates are optional after the first year.
No account required. The app checks your license once at startup - after that, everything works offline. Your API requests, database queries, and workspace data never leave your machine.
Nothing changes. Your license is perpetual - the app keeps working on your current version indefinitely. Renew for $20/year only if you want new features.
The $40 license covers one device. Email anlac96.it@gmail.com to transfer your license to another machine at no charge.
PostgreSQL is supported today. MySQL/MariaDB and MongoDB are in progress and will ship as free updates within the first year.
SmartScreen and Gatekeeper warn on apps with low install counts. PostPilot is code-signed on Windows and contains no telemetry or background processes. Windows: click "More info" → "Run anyway". macOS: right-click the app → "Open" → confirm.
Your license is perpetual and the app works fully offline - it keeps running on your device as-is. If we ever shut down the project, we will release a license-free build so the app continues to work without any activation check.
Yes - app.postpilot.dev is free with no install or account needed. It covers the API client and data inspector. The desktop app adds the database client and offline workspace, with a 14-day trial before purchase.
Instant API Testing, Database Access & Data Inspection - fully local, fully yours.
