🧁 Just starting work on request inheritance for authentication and headers. This will allow defining auth/headers at the workspace or folder level, to prevent duplication.

Gearing up for a big release next week. Stay tuned 👀

How many different computers do you use weekly?

The latest 2025.2 beta can now import the new Insomnia v5 format 🧁

What's the last thing that caused you frustration while using Yaak to work with APIs?

What pains have you come across trying to use Yaak in a team setting?

The latest Beta release enables the ability to mark environments as "sharable" 💁🏼‍♂️ - Include sharable environments in exported data by default - Include sharable environments in local directory sync

Encrypted fields are ready to ship! Just working on the logic to optionally share environments when using directory sync. This means you'll be able to securely share sensitive environment variables via Git, Dropbox, or other tools. No proprietary cloud required 🦸

Anyone out there still using SOAP?

Ready to rock after taking a couple weeks off. What did I miss?

The weather is getting nicer over here, and you know what that means 😎☀️ Working outside with light mode!

Support for encryption is coming along nicely. 🛡️ You'll be able to generate a key per workspace to encrypt values. Password-like fields will support encryption natively, and the `secure()` function can be used anywhere else.

Performance matters 🚀

Just got nested template functions working. The possibilities are now endless! 🤘🏼

🔐👀 Soon, you'll be able to store encrypted values in Yaak for secure local data and worry-free Git/export sharing. - Master key stored in OS keychain - Per-workspace keys (encrypted with master) - Distribute workspace keys to your team - Use secure() function anywhere

🚀 Look who's climbing! Yaak just crossed 5,000 GitHub stars! Props to the @yaak.app team 💫 https://openalternative.co/yaak

5k LFG 🚀🌒

Heyo 👋🏼 Yaak's pricing is now simpler, lower, and easier to understand. $50 per year, per seat

Starting with v2025.1.2, Yaak no longer collects anonymous usage data 🕵🏼‍♂️ It was a lot of work to instrument new features with proper event tracking and the data was never used to improve the app. It's been much more valuable and actionable to talk to users directly. 🙏🏼

Just passed 3k stars!

What's next for Yaak? Thinking about... - Secrets encryption - Plugin registry and more APIs - Request inspection (curl -v) - Client certificates

📣 Today is the day: Yaak 2.0 📣 By far the biggest launch yet: 📂 Sync data to folder 🎋 Git UI 🔌 WebSocket support 🔐 OAuth 2.0 and JWT 🚀 Performance++ 🎨 New website 👇🏼

Merch?
