Make HTTP requests and test APIs

What makes Cartero different?

Native and lightweight

Cartero is not a web application. It is native and leverages the graphical toolkit of your computer in order to be lightweight and fast.

Private by design

Does not require a cloud subscription. You are not required to create an account to use it. There is no AI integration in Cartero.

Knows how to do teamwork

Use plain text files to persist your requests. Track changes to your requests with Git or any other version control system and share them with your team.

Fully free software

Cartero is published under a GPL license. You are free to download the program, to access the code, to learn from it and to change it.

Contribute

Using the program is the most direct way to help the project. Talk to your colleagues or share your thoughts to let people know about it. We are on a mission to make sending HTTP requests over the network something affordable, as it used to be, and not a dreadful experience or a luxury.

However, if Cartero is helping you and you want to help the project back, here's how.
