Collections, history and an encrypted secrets vault stay in the browser's IndexedDB, and the only network traffic is the request you send. It imports Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI, HAR and cURL, runs Postman-style scripts in a QuickJS sandbox, and handles REST, GraphQL, WebSockets and event streams. It ships wayfarer-cli (runs a collection in CI) and wayfarer-bridge (a local relay for what a browser blocks) on npm. Each of its 94 public claims has a test in CI, run in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit where the claim is about the page. It launched on 10 November 2026 and is young: one maintainer, version 3.4.0.",
