Echo

Here at Gapfy, we spend our days building APIs, so we know what a good API client should feel like and how rarely one delivers it. Echo is our answer. It is quick, it is clear, and it treats testing as work that deserves real tools, not a cluttered tab you put off opening.

Built for the work, not for the demo

Echo is a desktop client for testing HTTP and gRPC APIs. It opens fast, it stays out of your way, and every request you send comes back readable, with the status, the timing, and the body laid out so you understand it at a glance. Organize your requests into collections, keep your environments tidy, and stop hunting for the call you made last week.

  • Test HTTP and gRPC APIs from a fast, native desktop client.
  • Read every response at a glance: status, timing and body, laid out clearly.
  • Organise requests into collections and keep environments tidy.
  • Find the call you made last week without hunting through tabs.
Send a request and read the whole response at a glance: status, timing and a clean, highlighted body.

See the difference, side by side

The feature we are proudest of is the one we needed the most. Point a single request at two environments, your staging and your production for example, run them together, and Echo shows you both answers next to each other with every difference highlighted. The moment something behaves differently between environments, you see it plainly, instead of guessing.

  • Point one request at two environments and run them together.
  • See both responses side by side with every difference highlighted.
  • Catch a config drift between staging and production the moment it happens.
Run one request against two environments and Echo highlights every difference between them.

Serious where it matters

Echo carries the things teams genuinely need and usually have to pay dearly for: shared workspaces, real access control, single sign on, and an audit trail you can stand behind. It signs in with your Gapfy account and sits comfortably beside the rest of the family. Enterprise care, without the enterprise theatre, because solid tools should never be a luxury.

One client for every API

We call APIs for a living, so we were hard to please when we built our own client. Echo is native, fast, and honest about what happens on the wire.

Five protocols, one editor

HTTP, gRPC with real reflection-based transport, GraphQL with introspection and subscriptions, WebSocket with a binary hex view, and SSE with auto-reconnect. No plugins, no context switching.

Compare across environments

Fire the same request against up to 4 environments in parallel. Side-by-side responses with a structural JSON diff and synced scrolling show exactly what changed.

Collections built for teams

Spaces, infinitely nested folders, drag and drop, bulk operations. Share with your team at Read, Contribute or Full Access, with in-app people search.

Environments and variables

Space-scoped environments with secret variables and a global active-environment picker. Live {{variable}} highlighting and autocomplete keep every request readable.

Automation without ceremony

Collection runner, declarative request chains with JSONPath extraction, local mock servers, cron-scheduled runs with failure notifications, plus pm.* scripting when you want code.

Private by design

Guest mode works offline with no account and no limits on the local loop. The entire local database is encrypted at rest.

Sync that follows you

Collections, environments, schedules, mock servers and even deletions sync across devices, with conflict capture and one-click repair. The mobile companion for Android and iOS is arriving on Google Play and the App Store.

Bring your collections

Import Postman collections and environments with full round-trip fidelity, plus Insomnia, Bruno, OpenAPI 3 and cURL. Export back to Postman formats any time.

AI that respects secrets

With a Pro AI seat, explain responses and errors, generate requests, tests, mocks and docs. Secrets are redacted deterministically before anything leaves your machine.

From solo debugging to team workflows

Echo starts as a fast local tool and grows with you. Sign in when you are ready to share, and keep full control of your data the whole way.

Share collections, keep control

Share a collection at Read, Contribute or Full Access, picked per person with in-app people search. Everyone works from the same source of truth.

Desktop today, pocket soon

Echo is native Windows from the Microsoft Store, no Electron in sight. A mobile companion for Android and iOS with the same sync engine is on the way.

Local first, never hostage

Guest mode needs no account and never limits the local loop. Your data lives in an encrypted local database, and you can export to Postman formats any time.
