About
Yaak keeps collections, environments and requests on the local machine and stores them as plain files that can be committed alongside the code they test, rather than in an account in the cloud. It speaks REST, GraphQL, gRPC and WebSocket, supports plugins for authentication and templating, and is free and open source.
