Installation

Nouto is an open-source REST client and a local-first alternative to Postman and Thunder Client. It runs as a VS Code extension or as a standalone desktop app. No account is required, there is no telemetry, and all data is stored on your machine.

VS Code Extension

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for Nouto
4. Click Install

Or install from the command line:

code --install-extension frostybee-dev.nouto

If you are coming from Thunder Client or Postman, you can import your existing collections during or after setup. See From Postman and From Thunder Client.

Desktop App

The standalone desktop app is built with Tauri 2.0 and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
