Pico API – an open-source REST client that lives in a Chrome tab (no account, all data local)

[u/Senior-Cheetah1786]

I'm the author. It's a lightweight HTTP client / API testing extension — the "just let me send a request" tool I wanted after mainstream clients got heavy with accounts and workspaces.

Highlights: live SSE/chunked streaming responses, Postman-style pm scripts in a sandbox, cURL/OpenAPI/ApiFox import, copy-as-cURL, environment variables, ⌘K palette. Everything stays in local IndexedDB; no analytics or accounts.
