Astraio Client
Superpowered, open-source & native Rust API client
Astraio is a blazing fast, open-source API client that supports HTTP, GraphQL, WebSockets, and more. Built entirely in Rust with a native GUI powered by Iced, it offers a lightweight, modern, and memory-efficient alternative for API testing and development. No Electron, no bloated memory—just pure native performance.
I built Astraio because I was tired of bloated, resource-heavy request clients. Here is the quick rundown:
🚀 Why I launched it: I wanted a frictionless workflow. No forced logins, no mandatory cloud accounts-just open the app and test your endpoints instantly.
🦀 Why Rust: Native performance. It starts instantly and uses a tiny fraction of the RAM consumed by Electron-based clients.
🌐 Why Open Source: Transparency and privacy are critical for dev tools. I built this to solve my own headache, and I wanted to share it with the community so anyone can use, audit, or improve it.
Give it a spin and let me know what you think! What's your biggest pet peeve with your current API client?
Rust-built API clients are honestly pretty rare, so this caught my eye. the memory usage is ridiculously low compared to Postman, like night and day difference on my laptop.
built in rust with iced is such a smart call, you basically skip the whole electron tax and still get a clean gui. genuinely impressed that something this responsive is open source.
the rust + iced combo is honestly such a smart call, native performance without the electron bloat is basically the dream for an api client. love seeing teams go that route.
Finally a native API client that doesn't hog memory like the Electron-based ones. The GraphQL support feels snappy and the interface stays out of my way.
rust and iced is honestly such a cool combo for a desktop app, and it actually feels snappy when you fire off a request. wish more api clients went this route instead of electron.
