HTTP testing tool with HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and WebSocket support
Cross-platform API testing tool inspired by Postman, featuring HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support, collection-scoped environments, automated testing, and significantly lower memory usage.

Pororoca is a cross-platform HTTP testing tool designed for developers who need advanced protocol support without sacrificing performance. Built with C# and Avalonia, it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux while consuming two to three times less memory than comparable tools.
The tool provides full support for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocols alongside traditional HTTP/1.1, plus native WebSocket testing. Collection-scoped environments simplify workflow management, while secret variables protect sensitive data. Automated testing capabilities enable CI/CD integration, and fast startup times keep developers productive.
Unlike cloud-synced alternatives, Pororoca stores all preferences, collections, and environments locally on your machine. No telemetry, no remote servers, no data sharing. Full Postman import/export compatibility ensures easy migration, allowing teams to switch without losing existing work. The multilanguage interface supports global development teams, while the open-source codebase ensures transparency and community-driven evolution.
When teams consider Pororoca, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
