Awake is a cross-platform API client built around a simple premise: keep API work in a Git repository rather than tying team collaboration to a cloud account. Collections, requests, and environments are stored as readable YAML files, making changes easy to review in diffs and track in normal Git history. The client supports HTTP, server-sent events, and WebSockets, with request parameters, headers, bodies, scripts, and several authentication methods: basic, bearer, API key, and OAuth 2. Shared environment variables can be committed for team use, while local overrides and secret values remain outside the repository; secrets are stored in the operating system’s keychain.
The application also includes a request editor, collection tree, JSON response display, search, command palette, request history, and a SQLite index designed to keep the interface responsive. It can import and export Bruno, OpenCollection, OpenAPI, and Postman data. Users can connect Claude Code or OpenCode to make changes in the workspace through coding-agent chats. Awake runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with downloadable installers and a command-line installation script for macOS and Linux. Linux requires GTK4 and WebKitGTK 6.0. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later, and its development setup uses Go, Node.js, and Wails.
