ATAC is Arguably a Terminal API Client.
It is based on well-known clients such as Postman, Insomnia, or even Bruno,
but inside your terminal without any specific graphical environment needed.
The philosophy of ATAC is to be free, account-less, and offline for now and forever.
How to install

Binary

You won't be able to run it like other graphical applications since it needs CLI arguments.

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/bin/atac (modify to reflect the path where atac is located).
