I built a lightweight HTTP client that lives inside Chrome — no Postman needed

I built a lightweight HTTP client that lives inside Chrome

I got tired of switching between the browser and Postman just to test a quick API call.

So I built HTTP Client — a Chrome extension that lets you send HTTP requests
directly from a side panel, without leaving your current tab.

What it does

  • All HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH and more
  • Headers, Query Params, Request Body (JSON / plain text)
  • Authentication: Bearer token, Basic Auth, API Key
  • Save requests to Collections
  • Request History — every request is saved automatically
  • Environment Variables — use {{baseUrl}} style placeholders
  • Works as a Side Panel — stays open while you browse

Why not Postman?

Postman is powerful, but heavy. Sometimes you just need to hit an endpoint
and see the response. Opening a separate app breaks your flow.

HTTP Client stays inside Chrome, opens in seconds, and remembers your requests.
No account required. No telemetry. Completely free.
