PrivyApiStudio

Overview

PrivyApiStudio is a privacy-first API workspace for developers who need to inspect endpoints, generate request data, import OpenAPI specs, and keep every request searchable on their Mac. It combines a practical request builder with local storage and optional AI assistance, so sensitive API work stays under your control.

Features

• Local-first workspace — Store API keys, request history, collections, and workspace data on your machine in a local SQLite database.
• AI-assisted request drafting — Generate request parameters, headers, and body content with Ollama, LM Studio, or Rapid-MLX.
• OpenAPI import — Bring in Swagger and OpenAPI definitions from a file, URL, or raw text, then turn them into usable requests.
• Full request builder — Work with standard HTTP methods, query parameters, headers, JSON bodies, and multipart form data from one focused desktop interface.
• Searchable execution history — Keep previous API calls, responses, and request details available for filtering, comparison, and instant replay.
• Native macOS performance — Manage large API collections in a responsive desktop app built for day-to-day development work.

Advantages

Unlike cloud-first API tools, PrivyApiStudio does not require a hosted workspace, mandatory account, or telemetry pipeline to do core API work. Your team can test internal services, prototype sensitive integrations, and use AI assistance through your own local provider while keeping credentials and request history close to the machine where the work happens.

Benefits

Spend less time rebuilding requests, searching old responses, or sanitizing data for cloud tools. PrivyApiStudio helps you move from API specification to working request faster, repeat known-good calls with confidence, and keep private development workflows private.

Requirements

• macOS 14.6 or later
• Local AI provider — Install and run one of: Ollama, LM Studio, or Rapid-MLX.
